Syrian singer Omar Souleyman will release his new album, Bahdeni Nami, on July 28 via Modeselektor‘s Monkeytown Records. That’s the cover art above and Modeselektor produced some of it, like the nine-minute “Enssa El Aatab” which you can stream below. Four Tet and Giles Peterson offer up production as well on the album.

Souleyman is in the US currently, playing the Treefort Festival in Boise, ID tonight, Slingshot fest in Athens, GA on Friday (3/27) and the Big Ears fest in Knoxville, TN on Saturday (3/28).
