This 2LP includes both the English & Arabic vocal versions of the record. THE INVISIBLE HANDS is the English translation of the band's original Egyptian Arabic name: El Ayadi El Khafeyya. Taking almost two years to create amidst an unusual and challenging backdrop, this is the brand new project of ALVARIUS B. (ALAN BISHOP of SUN CITY GIRLS). Eleven highly-crafted new songs projected through his typically dark lens of songwriting and a band of brilliant musicians from Cairo. Drenched in lovely psychedelic folk arrangements and vocal choruses with a nod to what could have potentially been an album that surfaced decades ago but instead found its way into the future superimposed over historic and tumultuous times in the center of the Arab world. The group was established during the summer of 2011 and the album was recorded in Cairo in May of 2012. Band members include CHERIF EL MASRI and AYA HEMEDA (both former members of popular Egyptian group ESKENDRELLA) with drummer MAGUED NAGATI. On a handful of songs, several other players from the Cairo scene are featured including SAM SHALABI (SHALABI EFFECT, LAND OF KUSH) on oud and MOHAMED MEDHAT on violin and viola.
