Hanni El Khatib released a new single earlier this week, the third single off his soon to be released fifth album, ‘Flight,’ set to drop May 15 from Innovative Leisure. “DUMB” is another slice off what Khatib and crew refer to as a very raw and powerful album.  “DUMB” is a slow and apocalyptic sounding, […]

Staring into the afternoon of a Sunday through rose colored glasses is a simple enough explanation of Pinky Pinky’s new single “Mr. Sunday,” a song that has the wisdom of a new day and the distance of a Monday seen from an afternoon that’s yet to pass.  It’s an amalgamation of various small moments that […]

Nick Andre’s “LA’s on Fire” Sizzles with Purpose “LA’s on Fire,” the new single from Nick Andre featuring Rob Sonic and Hanni El Khatib, gets the current state of the southland city right on a number of levels.

After releasing its lead single “Moonlight” with an accompanying video, Hanni El Khatib has now shared GZA’s remix of his forthcoming album’s title track. We rarely post remixes on Grimy Goods because they’re usually just mediocre fillers to hype an album or some sort of artist news, but this Hanni El Khatib GZA remix is […]

All the acid-popping psych hippies that came out to the Mayan last night to see Austin’s Black Angels perform were pleasantly surprised with the opening act, Hanni El Khatib (or who we now like to refer to as Hanni El Black Keys). A lot people in the crowd had no idea who Hanni was, but they […]

Half of the term “music business” is “business.” The business and those who work in it, have been a factor in how we listen to, and experience music since the advent of recording. It’s very easy, but very lazy to demonize the entire business of music. Brian Epstein (Beatles manager) plays as large a part as […]

This new Hanni El Khatib track is just begging for radio airplay, and we’re sure it will soon grace the redundant airwaves of KROQ and 98.7FM (if it hasn’t already). As the second single of the Dan Auerbach-produced album, there is no doubt “Penny” is catchy-as-hell, but it sure doesn’t burn with the same raw, badass-ery as […]

You can’t really complain about the youth of today when they’re as badass as Feeding People.
