East Of Any Place [CD] Clearance Pictures

“East of Any Place,” out via Habibi Funk, is a treasure trove of songs
we came across alongside Rogér Fakhr’s acclaimed 2021 album,
“Fine Anyway.” These tracks, hidden for decades and only passed
between a handful of people, offer a glimpse into Rogér’s musical
genius and the vibrant scene of Lebanon during a period marked by
civil war and social upheaval. This release serves as a companion to
“Fine Anyway,” feat studio tracks that didn’t make it into the previous
album.
In the process of putting together “Fine Anyway” we came across a number
of other songs Rogér had recorded around the same time. Initially Rogér
was not too fond of them for one reason or another, though in our minds
the musical quality was not the reason. It was a treasure trove of songs that
only a handful of people had access to. Some time ago, Rogér started
working on some new songs that will hopefully will turn into a new album,
and while we spoke about these, we brought up all these other songs we
still had from the same sessions as “Fine Anyway,” and that we felt it would
be great to share them with the world as a bonus to the songs already
shared as part of “Fine Anyway.” Luckily, Rogér eventually agreed, and this
is how we are able to share “East of Any Place.” As always, both vinyl and
CD come with an extensive booklet featuring background and interviews
with Rogér, including unseen photos, scans and more.
