Brooklyn’s Azar Swan were catapulted into the spotlight toward the end of last year after lighting up blogs across the globe with their debut track ‘Amrika’. Founding members Zohra Atash and Joshua Strawn have stepped out of the shadows once more with ‘Lusty’, a pulsating three minute slog through swells of frighteningly resonant percussion and ominous bass rumbles.
The spectre of their past incarnation as an instrumental ensemble appears at the midway point; distorted whirrs of synthesizer and hollow industrial clanks come to the fore, gripping at Zohra’s ghostly pipes and squeezing out the kind of twisted, tribal incantations perfected by These New Puritans on Hidden. We can’t wait to hear their full-length debut in the spring.
