Senegal-born, Kuwait-raised musician and artist Fatima Al Qadiri just premiered her new EP, “Genre-Specific Xperience,” in New York. The project consists of 5 songs each with corresponding video. Above is “Vatican Vibes” which features “Gregorian trance.” As Jody Graf writes in Clustermag, Al Qadiri’s introduction to Gregorian trance “ . . .  came in the passenger seat of her cousin’s car as they drove through a desert of burning oil fields towards the Kuwaiti border.” The “violent conflation of apocalypse and heaven” that she witnessed is also reflected in “the dark-Catholic-videogame aesthetic” of the accompanying “Vatican Vibes” video.
