An epic whirlwind of heavy sub-bass, stormy woodwinds, and uncanny vocals, conjuring ghosts of the old and new, the intimate and the alien, the literary and the chaotic. Fusing post-industrial, dub techno, avant-garde jazz, African drumming, and experimental hip-hop into a dark, captivating sonic experience.

‘Most often, the one who is suffering from the wind, escapes to the well, the cistern, or the sea to drown themselves’ Gholam-Hossein Sa’edi

People of the Wind moves with the traditions of Zar – healing music and dance brought to southern Iran by communities displaced from East Africa. All chants featured are renditions of Zar chants. This album is also inspired by the work of Gholam-Hossein Sa’edi, the Iranian writer, and his book Ahl-e Hava (People of the Wind).
