That effort was followed up by \u201cI\u2019m Really Important Back Home,\u201d  a 4-track EP released in 2011 with a more band-oriented approach. For this, Yared and Tabbal got a little help from some friends, including saxophonist Stephane Rives, keyboardist Vladimir Kurumilian, and drummer Malek Rizkallah of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/l\/20620\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Scrambled Eggs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/l\/16815\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Who Killed Bruce Lee<\/a>. <br \/>  <br \/>  Their next step could be regarded as a sort of fusion of the two forms they have taken so far: \u201cNo Applause:  The Incompetents Live at Tunefork\u201d (2011) is The Incompetents\u2019 first live album, recorded in Tabbal\u2019s own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/l\/20621\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Tunefork Studios<\/a>.  The lineup was once again whittled down to Yared and Tabbal, this time without the studio wizardry utilized on their debut release. The result: a collection of stripped down, minimal, sometimes altered on a whim, representations of past works: so pretty much, exactly like one of their live gigs. <br \/>  <br \/>  That brings us to the band&#8217;s latest release of their second studio album, \u201c\u2026Of Narcissism\u2026 and Minor Differences\u201d (2012). This time around, the whole band is back. Yared and Tabbal joined forces once again with Rives, as well as newcomers Paed Conca and Maya Aghniadis, on bass and drums respectively.<br \/>  <br \/>  The lyrics are a treat to read into because of how enigmatic they are. Love and relationships feature prominently as subjects, and there\u2019s even some room for politics. When I say \u201clove\u201d, I am not referring to flowery ballads. There\u2019s lamentation (It Could Happen to You), there\u2019s heartbreak (This Gun for Hire), and there\u2019s\u2026 love? (Breaking Point).<br \/>  <br \/>  The one political song is \u201cStripped\u201d, but there\u2019s a twist here: \u201cStripped\u201d is a vaguely political song detailing a list of essential humanistic elements that have been \u201cstripped\u201d away (home, dignity, family, etc.) However, despite that, there is still a sense of ambiguity to it, which doesn\u2019t make it preachy, or even strictly political; it\u2019s a matter of perception. The final track \u201cStripped (Exit)\u201d is a reprise of the song, with an extra verse added in the beginning.  In that verse, the elements recited are those of an individual (warmth, kindness, breath, etc.) Where the first version says \u201cStripped from my home\u201d etc., the second says, \u201cStripped from your warmth\u201d etc. So, it all comes full circle, and the song is revealed to cover the effects of political oppression on both the social and personal levels.<br \/>  <br \/>  As usual, the beauty of the Incompetents\u2019 sound lies in the bold variety of instrumentation. Harmonium, stylophone, banjo, you don\u2019t hear those on the same album often do you?  <br \/>  <br \/>  A new feature found on this album is the instrumentals. The absence of lyrics left the band free to play around with instrumentation and structure, from the ethereal minimal electronic opener \u201cLong Gone\u201d to the raucous post-punk snippet that is \u201cWhat Young Women Ought to Know\u201d.  <br \/>  <br \/>  The band also flexes its compositional muscles with the alternating tones of a single song, for example, the semi-schizophrenic mood swings of \u201cThis Gun for Hire\u201d.<br \/>  <br \/>  There&#8217;s one thing about the band that&#8217;s produced a consistent love-hate attitude from audiences who listen to the Incompetents: Yared\u2019s \u201cunpolished\u201d singing style. Some love it, others loathe it. He&#8217;s certainly come a long way since \u201cMore Songs\u2026\u201d, where it wasn\u2019t necessarily awful, but merely \u201craw\u201d. It has been cooking for some time now, marinating in confidence and seasoned with experience. Despite that, Yared remains more of a treat for those with unconventional tastes. So does this entire album really\u2026<br \/>  <br \/>  Once again, The Incompetents fail miserably to live up to their namesake by putting out an album that successfully demonstrates their versatility and dynamism in a way that is their own. Maybe someday boys, maybe someday\u2026<br \/>  <br \/>  The Incompetents&#8217; latest album is available for purchase at the Beirut Art Center, Dar Bistro and Books, Chico Video shop and Music Now.<br \/>      <figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"166\" data-id=\"455807\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20618-250x166.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-455807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20618-250x166.png 250w, https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20618-600x399.png 600w, https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20618-1024x681.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20618-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20618-1536x1022.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20618.png 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/figure><\/figure>    ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Photo courtesy of Tanya Traboulsi)<\/p>\n<p>Conceived accidentally in 2007 by Serge Yared and Fadi Tabbal (a bastard band, sort of), The Incompetents is an ongoing musical project that has been delighting, infuriating, and perplexing the Beirut alternative music scene with upbeat folk-pop melodies, a constantly shifting line-up and unpredictable experimental tendencies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":455809,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ai_generated_summary":"","_preview_accessed":0,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"media-embed-type":[],"class_list":["post-20618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"authorship":[7],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Incompetents&#039;
