Use Knife combines the energy of an Iraqi singer/percussionist (an exile from a war-torn country) with a Belgian composer duo’s obsession with analog synthesizers and saxophones. Beyond a simple fusion, the trio achieves true alchemy. This music is intense and captivating, but it also offers a space for emotion and deep reflection. Use Knife doesn’t just address the relationship between East and West—it embodies that very sound: when electro-industrial rumblings collide with Iraqi poetry and rhythms.
