Drawing us in with an enigmatic and refined guitar melody with a descending bassline and textured drums, Lazywall open Kan Hez Yaddi with atmospheric vocals and an emotive vocal performance.
The opus expands into a moody, alternative rock energy with Middle Eastern nuance as the Moroccan trio take us on an evocative journey with their soundscape and message. Lazywall are known to sing about “climate change, social injustice, integration and corruption with a visceral intensity that removes language barriers and unites cultures.”
Kan Hez Yeddi holds the profound message that “No human being should be illegal”. The band tell us, “It’s for anyone different who feels that they don’t fit in. And also about others who are afraid to lose what they got.”
We learn that Lazywall was formed in Reading, England by brothers Nao, Youssef and Monz who had relocated from Tangier to go to university in the UK. They cite influences including Led Zeppelin, Audioslave and System Of A Down, as well as Bob Dylan and Van Morrison, but it is clear that Lazywall are creating a universe of their own.
The creators explore drop D tunings and roots music with a mission to “connect the oud with the rock guitar, establishing a new musical trade route from the Orient to the Occident.”
We love the guitar solo and what the trio are creating, and have added Kan Hez Yaddi to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we anticipate future releases from Lazywall!
