The name says it all. Rainbow Arabia mashes fragrant Middle Eastern flavors into every sick color that weedy electro-psych has to offer, creating a greenhouse effect that's part euphoria, part paranoia. The grabby 7-inch single "Omar K" and last year's The Basta EP are shockingly dense for the work of just two people: L.A.–based spouses Danny and Tiffany Preston. He handles keys and beats, while she juggles guitar and percussion with opaque yelps recalling M.I.A. and/or amateur whale calls. The duo's new Kabukimono EP is another hazy, clamorous outing, with no exits clearly marked.
