About Oum Shatt

OUM SHATT perform a radically pure and minimal form of rock'n'roll, with arabic references. It's a deep and dark analog dance construct, percussive and nonchalant, based on Jonas Poppe's intense voice and the slow and deep surf guitar sound and electronic connotations. A bit of Ricky Nelson with a moustache. Or Ian Curtis naked in Cairo, half past three in the morning. Lyrically they combine topics like sex and crisis, attack and escape or dilemmas, love and lies.
