about

Die Sprachen der Vögel III
Zwischen den Wäldern ft. Arif Mirbaghi

This is the third in our ongoing collaborative series: die Sprachen der Vögel (The Languages of Birds). Primarily released on tape and digital these are short to medium length EPs that feature Völur collaborating with local and international artists. We are joined on this EP by Arif Mirbaghi (Zuze, Qame Feraq, The Double Cuts, Protest the Hero) on the tanbur: a kurdish/persian three stringed lute similar to a dotar or saz or any number of Turkic or Persian adjacent instruments stretching across Central Asia.

The EP is a meditative exploration of rivers and forests; trees and stones; public land and private land. We began working on this in the 2018. Needless to say this was a long time in the making and we're very excited for you to hear it.

Available digitally or on limited edition cassette tapes with beautiful art by Parva Karkhaneh, an incredibly talented painter and musician living in Tehran.

About our guest:

Arif Mirbaghi is a musician and composer, born in Canada and based in Tehran. He is the recipient of numerous awards and grants, including a JUNO for his work with the prog-metal group Protest The Hero. Considering versatility his strong suit, Arif has recorded on hundreds of albums ranging from jazz, folk, country, rock, reggae, and beyond. In addition to playing music, Arif is an active sound designer for theatre and is the founder of the record label Qame Feraq. He has performed on stages throughout the world and hopes to continue following the light of creativity wherever it should lead.

about

Völur Toronto, Ontario

Drawing from folk melodies, heathen spirituality and trance-inducing doom, Völur weave a hypnotic web of chthonic noise on the yawning gap of silence. A deep sound that moves through melodies, riffs and timbres slowly as a seeress chants rites for souls long past. Would you know more?

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

Powerful, plaintive expression of the fathomless sorrow of our suffering cetaceans and their depthless home, together with the indescribable loveliness of their distant blue-black realm. I feel as much interstellar space here as I do deep ocean, equally crushing and buoying. Dave Aftandilian

Zău
by Negura Bunget

NEGURA BUNGET have always been a unique and fascinating band. Epic Romanian folk black metal, shrouded in a dense atmosphere and full of dynamic, organic energy. Although I see "Om" as their unreached masterpiece and neither NEUGURA BUNGET nor Hupogrammos' Dordeduh created such incredible magic again, "Zău" is a worthy final chapet which won't disappoint any fan. Rest in peace! H.L.
