The married couple of Danny and Tiffany Preston are Rainbow Arabia, a project fairly named for its filtration of Middle Eastern-rooted music through a prism of computerized sonic tics and tatters. Tiffany’s yips and chants are essentially indecipherable on “Omar K,” which leaves a lot of latitude for video interpretation. I can’t imagine the song was intended to tackle demonic transformation, grocery store line dances, or cleanups in aisle 9, but the goofy “Come To Daddy” meets “Been Caught Stealing” video treatment wraps the cut’s African-guitar spiked electro in some unexpected levity. Curveball.

I can take or leave the song, but the video’s hella fun.
The video rules and I like the song, too. It kinda sorta has a gang gang dance sound / vibe to it.
Exactly my thoughts when I saw them open for gang gang dance.
my day has been fucking made.
Best supermarket experience!
As someone who worked in a grocery store I can tell you this could be a straight up documentary.
The Music wan’t captivating enough; but the video was different.
