El Khatib

**El Khatib** is the groovy solo venture of Spencer Dunham, best known as the bassist for the Los Angeles-based psych-rock band Allah-Las. Blending sun-soaked surf rhythms with global influences, his music feels like a laid-back road trip through desert landscapes with occasional detours into North African textures. Tracks like "Marhaba" and "Agafay (The White Camel)" nod to Arabic melodic motifs, while cuts such as "Feel Good" and "Fast Life" keep things rooted in fuzzy, reverb-drenched guitar jams. His sound retains the vintage vibe of his work with Allah-Las but adds a personal twist—think cassette tapes of 1960s garage rock meeting a Moroccan souk. Whether he’s crafting hypnotic instrumentals or dreamy vocals, El Khatib’s releases feel like postcards from a wanderer with a knack for mixing wanderlust and West Coast cool.
