Canadian The Shadow Majlis presents its debut album, The Departure, a ten-track journey of genre-fluid excellence and raw emotional experience, fusing elements of Eastern modes with post-punk to create an alternative neo-global style that transcends borders. Revolving around Ali Jafri (known as a member of David J's live band, Pigface and various other projects), this record was produced and mixed by three-time Grammy Award-winning producer David Bottrill (Peter Gabriel, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Tool, David Sylvian, Smashing Pumpkins, Muse, Real World Studios).
The legendary David J (Bauhaus, Love And Rockets) and drummer-percussionist Rakesh Tewari (Jaffa Road, The Special Interest Group) collaborate with Jafri throughout this album, which also features contributions by Olena Tsybulska (DakhaBrakha), Mark Gemini Thwaite (Peter Murphy, Tricky, The Mission), Anne Bourne (Loreena McKennit, Jane Siberry), Tuvan throat singer Soriah and other music luminaries.
This release marks the two-year heavenly birthday of Jafri's son Oisín, who passed away in September 2022 after battling a highly aggressive form of brain cancer. Helping him work through grief over this, the dissolution of his conjugal relationship, and a bout of temporary homelessness, The Shadow Majlis has proven to be medicine for the soul, creating an alternative sonic reality where we can all find solace and relief.
