Other people have already said it. There’s not even a point in trying to describe the wildly unique sound of California’s monstrous “fourth-world” power duo, Rainbow Arabia. The more I listen to their newest record, Boys and Diamonds, the more “globe-trekking, kaleidoscopic dance music” makes perfect sense. Their tracks have a playfulness that hints at Matt & Kim with deep rooted synth and guitar melodies that scream Rainbow Arabia tied together with an insanely wide array of worldly percussion topped off reggae inspired vocals. Matt & Kim seems totally far fetched, especially if you’re familiar with both artists, but when you jam the second track on this record; it’s like Matt & Kim went around the world in 80 days and wrote good a song. Or maybe they made a baby with MIA?
