SXSW Song of the Day: Habibi – I Got The Moves

habibi

Habibi is an all girls band from Brooklyn that brings all sort of sunshine to this dreary winter. They just released their self titled debut off the always great Burger record. The song, like the album, has got great harmonies with a nice retro-motownesque vibe while maintaining that trademark Burger Record garage rock aesthetic. People looking to celebrate diversity will also note that band member Rahill Jamalifard sings some parts in Farsi and that the band’s name is in Arabic.

or as our web designer Vik says “they’re like pipettes meets ravonettes meets JAMC”

They are definitely worth checking out. Coming to a music festival near you.
