That brief collection was overflowing with bubblegum melodies, upbeat pop, and the kind of giddy excitement that bands only revel in during their earliest stages. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix years later, sophomore album \u003cstrong\u003eAnywhere But Here\u003c\/strong\u003e retains some of that excitement, but sees the band expanding into moodier expression, more complex songwriting, and an expanded instrumentation that includes occasional Middle Eastern touches. This kind of progression was hinted at on the band's 2018 EP Cardamom Garden, which saw them incorporating Persian hand percussion and lyrics sung in Farsi into shadowy rock tunes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnywhere But Here\u003c\/strong\u003e splits its track list between higher-energy power pop songs like the attitude-heavy \"Misunderstood\" and more simmering, downtempo slow burns like \"Flowers.\" On the moodier songs, spindly surf-rock guitar leads blur into reverb-coated vocal harmonies. The relaxed pace and sun-dazed atmosphere of \"Angel Eyes\" sounds like the Allah-Las at their most subdued, but before long, Habibi calls on the jittery fire of their earliest material for the dancey garage pop of \"Bad News.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth \u003cstrong\u003eHabibi\u003c\/strong\u003e's pop-friendly and atmospheric sides grow on\u003cstrong\u003e Anywhere But Here\u003c\/strong\u003e, with more direct hooks on songs like \"Hate Everyone But You\" and a daring willingness to explore outside of their known parameters on songs like album-closer \"Come My Habibi.\" Along with auxiliary percussion from a tombak player, the song finds a droning riff stretching into a psychedelic workout, taking the band further out than they've ventured before. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing able to break new, more serious ground without losing any of the pop core that made the band so fun to begin with is the album's key strength. \u003cstrong\u003eAnywhere But Here\u003c\/strong\u003e not only has some of\u003cstrong\u003e Habibi\u003c\/strong\u003e's most adventurous songs, but also some of their best yet. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=OLAK5uy_k61m_vCLUDtbtoJ7ySvvmziT05q31TljE\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Habibi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44340254834875,"sku":"","price":38.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0517\/0341\/4971\/products\/Habibi-AnywhereButHere_DeluxeEdition_-01.jpg?v=1675350812","url":"https:\/\/bizarromarket.mom\/products\/habibi-anywhere-but-here-deluxe-edition-coke-bottle-clear-7-green","provider":"Bizarro Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
