Qow does for Egyptian singer Sherine Abdel-Wahab what Romance did for Celine Dion, or Florian TM Zeisig with Enya, in the vicarious heartache of their lush debut suite with Cairo’s irsh label Chasing up irsh’s Cairene showcases studded with cuts by 1127, ZULI, ABADIR, Kareem Lotfy, 3Phaz, and many more, Qow’s dissection and reassembly of works by Egyptian singer Sherine Abdel-Wahab manifests the label’s first original artist release. It is presented as a sort of unanswered call and response between the singer, artist and listener, with samples of Sherine combed out into lustrous vapours and elegiac keen that abstract the singer while translating her patented heartbreak into impressionistic context for contemplation and mending wounded emotions. No doubt many will recognise the method and results from Romance or Florian TM Zeisig releases in recent years, as Qow matches their calibre across 13 absorbingly oneiric scenes of romantic tristesse, but it’s fair to say it is distinguished by the Arabic vocals and the music’s subtly metallic, microtonal tunings, which perhaps feel even riper and powerful in light of recent, tragic events proximal to the label’s native region. Across the 13 parts, Sherine’s song are dissolved into a luxurious yet melancholy sound bath of fractalised phrases and diffuse ambient geometry. The pain of her lyrics and delivery is palpable yet made hallucinatory in Qow’s processing, blooming out into ambiguous negative space with an appeal that doesn’t depend on whether one exactly understands what she’s singing. They arc from aerial, symphonic flight in ‘Menak Lelah’ to more underwater refractions of elusive, glitchy phonemes in ‘Betehky F Eh’, and weave in subtle location recordings to hauntingly displaced effect on ‘Elly 2atelny’, or appear rendered as silvery harmonic vapour in ‘Howa Habeebak’, while ‘Kol Maghanni’ and ‘Bete7ky F Eh 2’ loosely root instrumental motifs and shivering vocal snippets in reverberating percussion and spongiform ambient bedding. The results surely brim with broad appeal to ambient romantics of all stripes.
