About this product
Born in Beirut, Lebanon, Rami Gabriel has been a motive force in rock n' roll, jazz, Arabic, and experimental music communities across North America for over twenty years. In that time, he has released numerous projects across genres and under many names. On his debut LP for Sooper Records, Rami trips all the breakers. In his own name and voice for the first time, That's what I been sayin' is not so much a debut as a conflagration in Rami Gabriel's worldly underground. Drawing on Punk, Krautrock, Dub, No Wave, and lo- fi, the territory occupied by That's what I been sayin' is astringent, minimal, and buzzing with the sound of machines dancing in the wind.InchI'm used to putting out records based on genre,Inch says Rami of his multiple endeavors. InchI was listening to one of the '70s Brian Eno records where he took his experimental work and his songs and put it all together, and I was thinking, 'Why don't I try to put all the different ways I've been working for the last couple years onto one record?'Inch That's what I been sayin' ignites this vision with an album that ranges from the motorik-driven krautrock of InchLike a monkInch to the unexpected trance-like pairing of InchBuzuq synth.InchThat's what I been sayin' is a furnace of Rami's insuppressible impulses, where he undertakes to ask and answer what is left of punk but making do with what is at hand? At times direct and scorching, at others meditative and wandering, That's what I been sayin' compresses Rami's understanding as a composer, musician, and singer into a restless, 11-track love letter to the underground. For Fans of The Fall, Haruomi Hosono, Brian Eno, and Scientist. Album Tracks 1. Like a Monk 2. That's What I Been Sayin' 3. Bad Instincts 4. No Good 5. Keep Sleeping 6. Too High to Die 7.

Rami Gabriel's second LP Tunderizer focuses the harsh experimentalism of post-punk industrial upon the intimate sphere of home. Like shadows crossing through mirrors, a mesh of lo-fi noise art and field recordings obscures expertly tuned songwriting. Tunderizer fires in all registers, from irrepressible melody to deconstructive static, from country to tarab, skronk to delta blues. Born in Beirut, Rami Gabriel is a composer and songwriter who plays Oud, Buzuq, and Guitar. He learned blues and jazz performing with legendary Chicago musicians and integrating it with Arabic traditions. Rami performs widely across North America and internationally including recent performances and touring in USA, Canada, Europe, India, Turkey, Lebanon and Ghana. He recently performed at the Portland Jazz Festival, the NYC Arab Festival, and the Festival International de Louisiane. Rami leads Chicago favorites The Arab Blues and the R&B quartet Rami & the Reliables. He has shared bills with roots luminaries including Buddy Guy, Zakir Hussein, Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyers, and Rakesh Chaurasia. He opened for British songwriter Nick Lowe, and records regularly with members of American rock legends NRBQ. He also shared bills with Prostitute, Marvin Tate, and other punk and noise artists. His music has been remixed by experimental artists including Fire-Toolz, Beau Wanzer, Sen Morimoto, Lynyn, k-rAd, and Alex Hall of Chicago's Reliable Recorders. Album Tracks 1. Majesty and Misery 2.
