Saint Abdullah is a project of Iranian-Canadian brothers Mohammad and Mehdi. Their work straddles the realms of experimental music, influenced by their cultural heritage and political landscape. Their sound is a unique tapestry that weaves together elements of noise, ambient, and the musical traditions of Middle Eastern sonic motifs. The duo's work is a powerful meditation on their experiences with the Islamic world and the West, reflecting on themes of cultural identity, diaspora, and the spiritual facets of sound and music.

Saint Abdullah's music is known for its thought-provoking and experimental nature, confronting listeners with a potent mixture of cultural samples, field recordings, and a blend of acoustic instrumentation and electronic elements. Through releases like "Chasing Stateless" and "A Vow Not To Read," they explore the complexities of their identity, often capturing the emotional gravitas of political and social narratives. Their approach to music-making is both reflective and radical, enabling a dialogue through their compositions that transcend geographical and linguistic boundaries, while their live performances are reputed to be intensely captivating, immersing audiences into the depths of their conceptual soundscapes.
