about

The most novel addition to Sail Into Night’s sound is Mahmood’s harmonium, which provides a satisfyingly rich drone to these songs, whether unobtrusively coloring the background or (as on the stately “Chambers”) serving the same role swelling synthesizer pads do for others. These songs largely rely on just that drone, Qizilbash’s pleasingly elemental guitar work, the omnipresent drum machine and the duo’s subtly shaded, slightly gothy voices. Like a lot of bands who stick to the patient tempos Sail Into Night do, and who manage a similarly spare yet lush sound, the music on Passenger feels more elegiac than disheartened, more existential than nihilistic.

about

Sail Into Night Dubai, UAE

Formed in 2015 by Pakistani duo Nabil Qizilbash and Zara Mahmood, Sail Into Night build on patient slow-core tempos, hypnotic riffs and the droning of qawwali harmonium to craft their own blend of shoegaze and alternative rock.
