Chance Meetings

Drone/ambient group from Beirut, whose core consists of guitarists Charbel Haber (Scrambled Eggs, Malayeen, Johnny Kafta's Anti-Vegetarian Orchestra) and Fadi Tabbal (The Incompetents, Under The Carpet, Safar), often joined on stage by Pascal Semerdjian and Marwan Tohmé from folk band Postcards. Operating firmly outside of any musical trends, at the heart of Bunny Tylers is the desire to tie musical loose ends and threads derived as much from the two men's solo records, as a very tangible teenage dream of remaking My Bloody Valentine's Loveless (1991). The duo initially came together in 2013 to compose and record incidental music for Nadim Tabet and Karine Wehbe's video essay "Summer of 91". They began exploring different guitar bowing techniques, away from rigid compositional stratagems. Preoccupied with texture rather than finite structure, guitar drones and intricate pedal-work set the ambience and mood for Haber's lyrics of self-reflection and existential bleakness. First album Glitches & Drones 2013-2016 (RPTD 016CD), was released by Lebanese indie label Ruptured in 2016. The duo's second album was recorded by Benoit de Villeneuve (from Team Ghost and a collaborator of M83) in 2017.
