Wanton Bishops - Under the Sun

'Under The Sun' is the new album from The Wanton Bishops, a band by every definition of the word, but primarily the vision of one eclectic man - Nader Mansour. The album is an exploration of identity and ultimately a love letter to his hometown Beirut, capturing Nader's kaleidoscopic life journey through a melting pot of musical influence; primarily gutsy blues-rock but with tinges of psychedelia, surf-rock, dance, as well as the Lebanese influences of Nadar's hometown. Following the release of The Wanton Bishops' debut album 'Sleep With The Lights On', a Delta blues record inspired by the likes of RL Burnside and Muddy Waters, Nader journeyed to America's deep south to experience the roots of Mississippi blues. The experience spawned a musical epiphany for Nader, as he returned home to Lebanon a changed man with a newly inspired musical vision.
