Snake Island

Description

Or Kantor returns with his second album, Snake Island, a striking and cinematic journey through imaginary landscapes and lost love, for fans of Eden Ahbez and anyone seeking a unique sonic and spiritual experience. Following the critical success of his first album, Sarda Sarda (2024), praised by BBC Radio 6 Music, FIP Radio, KCRW ... Kantor continues to refine his singular sonic identity, rooted in instrumental storytelling. With Snake Island, Kantor delves deeper into what he calls "Subterranean Music," an atmospheric fusion of Mediterranean ballads, desert blues, spiritual jazz, and psychedelic textures. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Gabor Szabó, Omar Khorshid, The Budos Band, Dorothy Ashby, and Tommy Guerrero, he creates instrumental pieces that are both timeless and cinematic. "Snake Island was composed as the soundtrack to a fictional film lost to the world, a film that most likely no one has ever seen," explains Kantor. A renowned tattoo artist and founder of Love Light Studio, Kantor's musical journey began after a chance encounter with Johnny Sharoni. During a tattoo session, Sharoni heard Kantor's demos and was immediately struck by their raw beauty.
