They're known as the Lebanese Coldplay.
Their shows are electrifying, their songs punchy and heartfelt. They've tackled themes ranging from loneliness during the Covid-19 pandemic to heritage and a deep love of the land.
On this episode of Tarab, host Saeed Saeed speaks to Anthony Khoury of Adonis, the indie-pop band he established in 2011.
He discusses the band's evolution and the emotional core of their seventh album, a project centred on solitude, self-reflection and letting go.
