Sababa 5 – Nadir

Sababa 5 return with Nadir, their most cinematic and immersive album yet. Building on their psychedelic soul and Middle Eastern rock foundation, the Paris group dive into darker, moodier terrain, weaving hypnotic grooves with desert-fried guitars and swirling organ lines.

Named after the point opposite the celestial zenith, Nadir explores depth and duality, balancing tension and release, the cosmic and the grounded. Tracks like “VU” and “Nadir” conjure smoky nightscapes and vintage soundtrack moods, while “Tell” brightens the palette with its melodic Turkish-inspired sway.

Equal parts funk, psych, and atmospheric soul, Nadir finds Sababa 5 expanding their sound into something deeper, stranger, and utterly magnetic.
