about
Ali Muhareb started the group in early 2007 with his good friend Evan Sadlou. They made a few tracks but eventually Evan wasn't going to keep making songs with Ali, so he quit. Ali has been making the tracks since then, with a drone/electronica tone which intensely build up through progression of the songs. SSG is one of the most unique types of music you will ever listen to. He has just recently started playing more live shows, which have a completely different dynamic than the albums, so make sure to keep an eye on this up and coming performer. New album "A Perfect Reason To Fall" out now, available free for download here: http://thesecretsocietyofgiraffes.bandcamp.com/ User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
why this is interesting
This project merits attention for its uncompromising approach to sonic development. Rather than relying on conventional song structures, it constructs intricate soundscapes through patient layering—drone and electronica elements interweave and accumulate, creating tension that resolves across entire tracks. What distinguishes it is the deliberate architectural quality: each piece unfolds as a journey rather than a fixed moment. The live performances introduce another dimension entirely, transforming the recorded material into something more immediate and unpredictable. For listeners willing to engage with music that prioritizes immersion over accessibility, this represents a genuinely idiosyncratic vision—work that develops its own logic and asks audiences to follow rather than lead.
