Social Assassins
Guitarist Gabriel Akhmad Marin, known for his work with genre-hopping fusion stalwarts Consider The Source, assembled a new group of psychedelic all-stars to push the boundaries of instrumental music yet again.
Social Assassins features scene luminaries drummer Marco Cirigliano (The Pickle Mafia, Aku), bassist/multi-instrumentalist Nick Joz (Peter Evans, Stefa), and electronic guitarist Sage Xavier (Aku), and takes an organic, groove-oriented approach to Gabriel’s signature blend of traditional sounds and futuristic fury. Sailing over a roiling ocean of Marco’s hypnotic, electronic-inspired beats, his fretless guitar is the lead vocalist, accompanying choir, and wall of analog synthesizers all-in-one.
The songs are a blend of original compositions, improvised moments, and traditional music from Eastern Europe, all filtered through trance-inducing textures ranging from rock, to dub reggae, to ethereal folk and wrapped neatly in catchy song forms. Social Assassins offer a massive, exciting live experience full of virtuosic instrumentalism and raw, fun energy.
