Song of the Day - July 5, 2006

I love the eerie, sinister sound of Shalabi Effect's "Bright Guilty World." From their Pink Abyss album, which to fans of Shalabi Effect is known as the "pop album" due to its relatively accessible tracks as compared to the rest of their oeuvre. "Bright Guilty World" has a jazz feel to it, thanks to the seductive vocals of Elizabeth Anka Vajagic. The slow beats, the beautiful vocals, and the brushed drums are juxtaposed and interspersed with threatening shrieks of guitar and low ominous sounds which I find absolutely addictive, almost a forbidden pleasure.
