"I’m a big fan of Anna’s two records… and I caught her tour after her first record at Bowery Ballroom here in NY. "Epic" I think is the word that is often used. So when Thomas Bartlett said he was going to be in the studio producing an EP of Anna doing covers I immediately agreed to join in. I was invited to suggest songs and I loved the last Keren Ann record and I thought "Strange Weather" had a haunting quality that might suit Anna…. so we did that, and Anna then suggested I join in on the Connan Mockasin track she’d done too." - David Byrne

Sasha Frere-Jones speaks with Fatima Al Qadiri’s about her visual and musical output, and her new album, “Asiatisch”: http://nyr.kr/1l4oC3p

“Al Qadiri refers to the music on ‘Asiatisch’ as an artifact derived from the ‘imagined China’ we hear in video games, Disney’s ‘Lady and the Tramp,’ and a clutch of U.K. grime tracks called ‘sinogrime.’”
