Do by Flower Storm
Iranian tunes for the floor and the mind
Iranian duo Kasra V and Sepehr, aka Flower Storm, are back with more sharp, hybrid sounds on their second EP Do (which translates as 'two' in Farsi). Like 2023's debut Yek EP, the five tracks here blend classic Iranian sounds in a contemporary electronic style. Traditional instruments, ethereal vocal samples and temperate rhythms combine to great effect, with opening track The first trial (a loose cover version of Coil's Further Back and Faster) awash with waves of Acid and didgeridoo noises. My fav is Against wild lions, with its catchy vocal loop and solid 90 BPM.
