Maysaloon

Maysaloon is a music collective from the Middle East that keeps a deliberately low profile. Not much is known about who exactly is in the group, and they've only put out a handful of singles and EPs, like 'Al-Mu'allaq' and 'Transient Grace'.

Their best-known track is 'Warsphere,' a song that deals with the subject of violence. The music mixes classical Arabic sounds with electronic production, creating a mood that's often described as haunting or introspective.

Because they work anonymously and touch on difficult themes, their work has drawn both strong praise and criticism. They haven't released much, but the music they have put out continues to find listeners drawn to its particular atmosphere.
