LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, November 11, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Middle East's most versatile Alt-Rock artist KAIS, currently positioned in Cyprus, where he operates his own recording studio, Hot Soap Studios, released their latest single ‘Dark Side of the Light’ on November 11th. The sonically ensnaring smorgasbord of Indie, Alt 90s, Blues and Psych was mastered for maximum mind-altering and soul-filling impact.

KAIS breaks the monocultural mould by utilising their multifaceted heritage in their sound which lets syncopated choppy Funk-riding guitars ring from behind the bass and drums to the accompaniment of their imploringly awakening vocals.

Having spent the majority of their life in Jordan, the Canadian artist blends their affinity for Western music with the perspective gained through global traversing and witnessing the atrocities of war which have blistered the landscape of Arab nations. The distinction in their expansive sound is only matched by the uniqueness of their outlook.

KAIS said:

“Dark Side of the Light reflects the power of love, its ability to cast you into depression (the “Dark Side”) and how much the ones we love can represent the light. It captures the yearning for lost lovers to witness success while offering a simple reminder that relationships always involve a battle against temptation. "One side's here to stay, one side's gotta win" emphasizes that whatever happens, whether you triumph over sin or not, that will be the pervading reality.”

Amelia Vandergast at A&R Factory said:

“Masterful, mesmerising and evocatively raw in equal measure. With the reverb-swathed instrumentals propping up the vocals which tear through you with their candidly raw longing, it’s a bruising ode to lost love. Any Alt-Rock playlist would be richer for the addition of Dark Side of the Light.”
