The White Man & The Arab's third outing since 2013's 'Misanthropy EP' is finally here. 'Hashashin' has clearly From the opening track of 'Vanished' the natural progression from the previous two releases is clear to see. Confident percussion patterns, woozy strings and an otherworldly synth melody that lift's the track to a whole other level, bold yet equally subtle. Following is the title track of the EP, 'Hashashin', which takes a slightly more mellower route. Darker, dubbier, and at times abstract and meandering. The signature percussive interplay still there at play, while the melodies are more understated, providing a mood rather than something to hum along to. 'The Tribe' opens up the B-side and instantly harnesses primordial rhythms; intricate polyrhythmic patterns, almost alien like soundscapes, conjuring images of shamanistic rituals. Rounding off the release, 'Face' is the most prominent track connecting to the previous two EPs. A forward moving, gradually expanding rhythm whose subtle mood is punctuated by an intensifying synth line that gives the track an extra dimension.
