Backed by Deep Purple & UFO, Alt-Rocker Kaviani Releases Debut Single
His first single is inspired by growing up with Iranian heritage in Sheffield, remembering how his father told him to tell people he was Italian so as to escape the stigma saying his family came from Iran. Like many, Simon has had to suffer for events which he took no part in, and political rhetoric which demonises so many innocent people. Don’t Let the Bombs Drop, Daddy is Kaviani’s response, an urgent, ferocious, yet no less melodic cry for common sense and compassion to rise above ignorance and bigotry.
Duncan Lloyd (Maxïmo Park) announces new album Outside Notion
Duncan Lloyd (Maximo Park / Nano Kino) is today announcing a brand new solo album, Outside Notion, along with a video for the record’s first single Young Dreams, in what makes for a fresh and definite lean away from the indie-rock he is known for. Orchestrated segments circle around telling insights, executed with a depth of tender maturity. Breaking away from familiar territory, each song is it’s own defined journey of sorts. Sprawling jams and evolving layers open out to reveal the minutiae of smartly observant often heart-breaking lyrics. Young Dreams morphs oddly fitting drones with loose mannered guitars and violins that spiral over syncopated rhythm lines, into multi-dimensional layers of texture, gradually unfolding into thrilling chaos.
