Boys And Diamond
(2011, Kompakt Records) USA, California.
I discovered Rainbow Arabia through Noisemag (http://www.noisemag.net/)
First of all, I loved the vocals harmonies in Hai and its huge electro production. The part at 1:44 is terrific and fine at the same time about the soundscapes.
Then I love Boys And Diamonds : well-done and well-produced too (I like the little guitar riff along the song).
I love too the synthesizer at 1:35.
Finally I like Jungle Bear mainly for its production.
I only remember these three songs.

The Basta Ep
(2008, Manimal Vinyl Records) USA, California.
Rainbow Arabia is a couple who offers us an electro/afrobeat musique in between The Knife, M.I.A., this kind of band…
You’ll find dancing guitare+drumbox+synthe songs like Let Them Dance.
I love the bass in I Know I See I Love I Go and the way that the vocals are mixed with it, and the Finale with the guitar part.
Finally Hear No Sea No is a success as a melancholic song.
Sometimes the mix guitar + drumbox reminds me of Béruriers Noirs.
A very good Ep !
