Lias Saoudi Announces Book Tears Of The Patriarch

Lias Saoudi has officially announced his second book, which is titled Tears Of The Patriarch. The book will be published early next year by White Rabbit. Alongside the announcement, Saoudi stated that he is bothered by music groups that speak in regional accents. He also recalled that he and Yaz Saoudi traveled to North Africa together in 2014.

Saoudi explained the origin of a text he wrote about Yaz Saoudi, which came after he read David Keenan's book This Is Memorial Device. Lias Saoudi used this text on the fourth Fats recording. Laurence Bell thought that this specific track could create a strong talking point.

Saoudi also recounted traveling to Algeria by plane to shoot a music video for Bittersweet Symphony. He planned for the entire budget of the video to be no more than one thousand pounds. Upon entering the town of Maillot, Saoudi noticed the name Saoudi located in various places. The production work for the video was done using assistance from Yaz and their cousin Mendes. Furthermore, Saoudi explained that they had to find men to walk with him at the conclusion of the video.
