Kavus Torabi - Hip To The Jag

[soundsweird]

The first single reminds me of XTC, specifically Colin Moulding's style.

Ordered! HttJ is one of my favorite sides of the past decade, so very much looking forward to this.

As much as I love it, and I do, I think the album he and Williams did is better. It hits me perfect, right where I live.

Good news! I haven’t listened to it—I’m likely to go into the album blind—but I love Moulding’s tunes. I spun Nonsuch a few times this weekend and was again struck by just how strong “My Bird” and “Smartest Monkeys” are. (“War Dance” is just all right.)

Hmmm. I think I might make a Moulding playlist and spin the live album he and Chambers put out a few years back.

Congrats Kavus!

Looking forward to this album!

I was a bit sad to read about his 'descent into psychosis' . I really hope he is doing ok now. Covid has been hard on a lot of people but a nightmare for artists.

New album has arrived. Looking forward to digging in.

Listened to it today for the second time, think it's a grower.

Kavus has been MIA around here for a while now. Just busy?

Another lovely release by Kavus

[Sunlight Caller]

Kavus seems exceptionally busy, he has Gong, Utopia Strong, Miranda Sex Garden and a solo career afloat right now, and jolly good luck to him. I am still waiting for the new album to hit the doormat but I’ve played it a few times on download from Bandcamp and it’s excellent.

I have no idea what you are referring to. The album sounds bleak. It also sounds like a totally honest and beautiful statement from within.

It’s Kavus’s own description of the circumstances under which he made the album. See the Bandcamp page.

Yes, I've just noticed. I love the new album.
