Already well known for an eclectic roster of artists, German label Kompakt took notice and gave Danny and Tiffany Preston a brand-spanking new home for their full-length debut release, Boys and Diamonds. The album was written, performed, and recorded at the duo’s home studio Muppet Palace and includes appearances by fellow musicians and friends such as drummer Butchy Fuego of The Boredoms and M.I.A. fame. Boys and Diamonds is scheduled for release on March 1st via Kompakt. For a sneak peek of what’s to come, stream the album’s first single, “Without You”, below.
　　Averse to any easy classification, Rainbow Arabia's continent-trekking, kaleidoscope pop is rooted in no particular time or place, employing modern technological processes to an array of musical cultures and eras. The Los Angeles duo began with the purchase of a Lebanese Casio that played microtonal scales and Eastern beats, with which they quickly recorded their propulsive first EP, The Basta, synthesizing bossa nova and industrial post-punk with heavy Middle Eastern vibes. Digging deeper for inspiration from the worldly found sounds of Sublime Frequencies compilations, their follow-up EP, Kabukimono, expanded the color palette of their "fourth world" pop with dark, Arabic disco-dancehall jams sitting alongside sunnier moments with Caribbean and African flourishes. Rather than restricting themselves to the expanse and musical artifacts of Earth alone, Danny and Tiffany Preston recalibrate their focus aiming their sights upwards into outer space. Nearly a year in the making, Rainbow Arabia's forthcoming first full-length Boys And Diamonds is a stunning journey that not only marries East with West but also the past with the future. Immediately, you can hear some familiar elements found in their previous releases: Danny's asymmetrical tribal beats and lysergic pads, Tiffany's labyrinthine fretwork and tick-tock vocal swagger. But you'll also notice: the hooks are stickier and more confident, the rhythms are sturdier, and the production is lusher, even astral, giving the songs more space to breathe.

假借阿拉伯之名中寻找青涩的冲动（增下载）

第一次听到Rainbow Arabia是在KITSUNÉ的一张合集中（Kitsuné x Ponystep）的一首Holidays In Congo (Myd remix)，电音所带来和酣畅以及对耳朵的刺激挑逗立马吸引到我的关注。（此段文字为个人音乐牢骚，与作品无关，赶时间的朋友自行跳过）说到对电音的热爱由来已久，因... (展开)
