Description
'Under The Sun' is the new album from The Wanton Bishops, a band by
Nader Mansour
hometown Beirut, capturing Nader's kaleidoscopic life journey through a melting
pot of musical infuence; primarily gutsy blues- rock but with tinges of
psychedelia, surf- rock, dance, as well as the Lebanese infuences of Nadar's
hometown. "It's Lebanese Rock", adds Nader, "a new genre, a blueprint for future
music. It's not fusion, it's confusion, it's not world music, it's rock music from the
world, for the world".
Following the release of The Wanton Bishops' debut album 'Sleep With The Lights
On', a Delta blues record inspired by the likes of RL Burnside and Muddy Waters,
Nader journeyed to America's deep south to experience the roots of Mississippi
blues. The experience spawned a musical epiphany for Nader, as he returned
home to Lebanon a changed man with a newly inspired musical vision. Nader's
music slowly emerged from the Delta swamps into the Lebanese mountains, and
the music of The Wanton Bishops began to refect Nader's homeland, his people,
and his personal journey. To quote Nader, "I'm fnally getting to the core of the
music I want to create, and that core is scarily confused, yet uniquely special,
much like our own identity as Lebanese people living in Beirut, that eternal
cultural crossroad."
