As Kiss Facility, Mayah Alkhateri and Salvador Navarrete make music rooted in shoegaze’s swirling and tangled guitars, with Alkhateri’s ethereal Arabic-language vocals at the centre of the duo’s creations. Their debut album Khazna (which means “treasury” in Arabic) arrives via Navarrete’s ambient tweets label, which has showcased a taste for darker sounds via his own genre-resistant production work under the name Sega Bodega and the moody goth-pop of labelmate Cecile Believe. On Khazna, Alkhateri and Navarrete conjure the type of shadowy alternative rock that was prevalent in New Wave’s ’80s heyday through trip-hop’s ascent in the mid-’90s; at times, Alkhateri’s rounded vocals are a dead ringer for those of legendary Cocteau Twins lead singer Elizabeth Fraser. And if you squint just hard enough, you can hear traces of Addison Rae’s dreamy electropop sound bubbling up in Khazna’s lush environment.
