Chatma is also Tamikrest’s first album to be wholly written around a defined theme.

Album · 2013 · 10 Songs.

On their third album ‘Chatma’, Tamikrest are at their strongest when they take their foot off the (distortion) pedal a little. Not because they don’t know how to rock, but because the rock influences don’t need to be so blatant: they’re already there in the chord changes and the direct, aggressive playing. But that shouldn’t detract from how great some of this record is, not just in terms of being a psychedelic, hypnotic head-trip – as on stand-out track ‘Itous’ – but because it’s actually powerful. It’s an album about something other than girls and depression, it’s about struggle, pain and the power of music: something we could all do with being reminded of every once in a while.

Chatma, the third album from the young Tuaraeg band Tamikrest, is certainly a confident affair. Tisnant an Chatna' is strong opener, with its cyclical guitar riff, loping groove and the striking vocal melodies and ululations of female singer Wonou Walet Sidati. That said, Tamikrest have plenty of fire in their bellies, and the terrific 'Imanin bas Zihoun' choogles along like a Saharan Creedence Clearwater Revival. Itous' deftly fuses the Tuareg camel-clop rhythm with a reggae stepper beat, aided in no small part by Cheik Ag Tigly's supple bass. Assikal's' Pink Floyd-inspired atmospherics are a little portentous, but Tamikrest's willingness to experiment bodes well for the future.
