We discuss his current solo project Grave Jones, his latest single 'Heaven Only Knows' and earlier music with Slutterhouse.
Our conversation includes an appreciation for rock music, Beirut as a backdrop for storytelling and the political evolution we both experienced from 2005 onwards.
We also talk about patience lost through social media, an upbringing that allowed for imagination and creativity and why a sense of anger overtakes our emotions online.
Rabih Salloum is a singer, songwriter and philosophy instructor at AUB.
