Ziad Saad

Pop Will Save Us

Rock | Lebanon | 2008

In the pure lineage of studio wizards such as Brian Wilson (circa "Smile"), Todd Rundgren and Van Dyke Parks, video artist, musician, producer and composer Ziad Saad offers us four tracks redefining the map of the Lebanese musical scene. Subtle and ironical, he delivers personal melodies informed by jazzy rhythms and peculiar structures. In this "concept" EP, the distinctive texture of each song is full of promises, recalling at times the fractured songwriting of Daniel Johnston, as well as the perverse self-production skills of Stephen Jones (Babybird).
