The Shadow Majlis video for “Deer in the Headlights” has been chosen as this week’s Flawless Friday Video. We love the mixture of the visuals and the music. If you look closely, you will see the deer.

The single is a poignant track from Jafri’s album, reflecting his heartfelt emotions as he copes with the tragic loss of his seven-year-old son, Oisín. His son passed away in September 2022 after a nine-month battle with a highly aggressive form of brain cancer.
“The “Deer” in ‘Deer in the Headlights’ is Oisín as Oisín means “little deer” and is taken from Irish folklore. This song is special for me with its high energy percussion and features David J‘s bass line driving the rhythm section. It also features Soriah and his Tuvan throat singing, the meditative nature of the throat singing up against the franticness of the rest of the song, I think, is juxtaposed beautifully and speaks to the gracefulness that Oisín carried himself with amidst the difficulties he faced as a child dying from cancer,’ says Ali Jafri.
The Shadow Majlis [pronounced “mahj-lis”] revolves around multi-instrumentalist Ali Jafri, David J (Bauhaus, Love & Rockets) on bass and Rakesh Tewari (Jaffa Road, The Special Interest Group) on drums and percussion, with cover art by Stephen Seto (Splintercage).
‘The Departure’ album is out now, available everywhere digitally, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. This album’s creation was made possible through funding received from FACTOR.
