about

What we talk about when we talk about love? About a timeless halt, a moment of silence held by the huffing and puffing of ventilators, coughing generators and rattling machinery. Beirut, quiet yet waving in the magmatic chaos that defines her, in her eternal noise and industrial chit chat, a moment of peace however illusory, given by the spirits to the warm bodies that remain. Maybe this offers the music to become more vehement, a raw shell full of beauty unspoken. NÂR’s album was built with dust, ghosts and graceful mistakes driven by the violence of life and delightedly taking a quarter step forwards.
BlauBlau Records, early winter 2022

I would like to dedicate this album to my father, Nabih Daou, who left this world a couple of weeks before I started recording, to my mother Wadad Daou and my beloved partner, Mohamad Siblini for their unconditional love and support and finally, my beautiful soul sister and colleague Zora Vipera for being such a great inspiration since the beginning of NÂR's journey.

EMMANUELLE PARRENIN / DETLEF WEINRICH - Jours De Grève LP - [VERLP41]
by EMMANUELLE PARRENIN / DETLEF WEINRICH

supported by 8 fans who also own “What We Talk About: NÂR”

When a French folk singer and music player, meets a German DJ, the result can be a total disaster or a grate album. Here we fall in the second case: this album (written during the strikes that happened in France in 2019, from where the title is taking inspiration), is a perfect mix of folk/classical instruments played on an electronic base providing an unexpected and great result. In my opinion one of the best and more original album produced in 2021. losfastidios

A Story of a Global Disease

Naomie Klaus is a fantastic performer and this release definitely meets the standards of her shows. Full of melodies, very melancholic without leaving on side the percs and the rythms. I really see a reflection of myself through these tracks. alexandrebnl
