Lemonwire Reviews Tinariwen’s Elwan

“Any listener of Tinariwen’s music can hear a cry for freedom in a world gone mad, as well as resolution to remain strong to the ties of music and landscape that bring societies, as well as people, together,” writes Lemonwire in its recent review of the Tuareg collective’s new album Elwan. The review states that the album is “engrossing journey into their musical world, expertly synthesizing the talents of the guest musicians [including Kurt Vile, Mark Lanegan, and others] into their songs and giving us another look into the life of a desert band.” Limewire calls the band’s songcraft “impeccable” and describes Elwan as “excellent.” Read the review here!

Elwan is a rare World record in that it has had crossover success at Radio 200, peaking near the Top 20 at NACC and Spinitron. The album is still going strong at radio, so keep the spins coming!
