Watch: Azar Swan – Amrika

27 March 2013, 09:55 | Written by Dan Carson

New York goth-pop duo Azar Swan first caught our attention back in January with album teaser, ‘Lusty’ and its discordant industrial clanks and twisted atmospherics.

Here, Zohra and Josh are revisiting their debut drop ‘Amrika’, matching its trilling vocals and tribal beats to a semi-autobiographical narrative about growing up in an Afghan immigrant family. Directed by their live visual artist Jason Somma and starring Zohra’s niece, the video recalls a childhood living on the breadline where music provided the one form of escapism. Strangely uplifting.
