Michael Mueller Allah Be Praised - this is stunning.

The way these tracks develop their almost tidal pulses of undulating vocal loops borders on hypnotic.

My only criticism is the length of the songs; I wish they were twice as long!

This is true world music: a blend of style and sound that speaks of place, yet defies convention. Some of the best beats you'll hear anywhere, set to sampled chants and other highly evocative sounds.

I hope a full, double-length LP of music of this calibre is in the pipeline. Favorite track: Vivid Persian Dreams.

Gwynncore Ta Tash is yet another amazing and unique release from Saint Abdullah. Like their previous releases they utilize distorted Persian and Arabic singing and traditional instrumentation, along with some electronic beats to create very odd and almost surreal Middle Eastern style Avant-Garde tracks. A must listen. Favorite track: Vivid Persian Dreams.

  • POSTCARDS FROM THE OUTER BOROUGHS: 15 Printed Postcards

    15 printed postcards designed by Iranian artists Ghalamdar & Saint Abdullah:

    These are an edited collection of images pulled together from the years of the Iran-Iraq war. A collection of 15 works of art titled Postcards from the Outer Boroughs. Some of these images belonged to our family, others we found by forming a dialogue with the actual men who fought in battle with our family members. Men who remember those last, precious moments of the lives of our loved ones. We were curious to somehow learn more about that moment from those who served.

    These Postcards are the culmination of the hard work and imagination of Ghalamdar, a wonderful Iranian visual artist based in the UK. In them, we explored how we could modify these quintessentially Iranian motifs to lift the weight of emotion, the weight of innocence, of loss, of blind faith, to the end? How do we connect an Iran of the past, Iran of the books, to the Iran of today? After all, we are of the same blood. As a by-product of mixing media, mixing contexts, we attempt to playfully bridge this gap, if ever so slightly.

about

Powerful new sounds from Iranian duo Saint Abdullah.

Following up the 2017 Boomarm debut "The Sounds of Evil Vol. 1" and their acclaimed 2018 release "The Stars Have Eyes" for NYC label PTP, Saint Abdullah bring forward Ta Tash, a stunning audio visual collection of hypnotic, thundering sounds.

"Ta Tash translates as ‘To the End’ in English. It captures the essence of a sentiment during the brutal 8-year war between Iran-Iraq. To protect Iran's borders, to defend the Shia faith, the Persian civilization, at all costs. It is also quite a greedy aspiration. Where defense and offense and blind faith muddy the prospect for rational thinking, strategy, and humanity. But at the same time, perhaps this is the kind of shit that's helped Iran survive for 5000 years. Who knows."- Saint Abdullah, in conversation with Boomarm Nation (May 2018)
