LP version. A unique blend of traditional Iranian sounds and contemporary electronic music, featuring vocal features by renowned Iranian artists. Ecstatic dance music to get lost in. Esfand is the final month of the Persian calendar, ending with the Nowruz spring festival.
Esfand
is also a band, founded in 2020, consisting of
Rouzbeh Esfand
and
Patrick Stewart
. A duo that fuses traditional Iranian Folk elements with Western beats to create something completely new. Their debut album
Piltan
is a flamboyantly danceable statement. No crossover kitsch. Pure instinct music. For his master's thesis, Rouzbeh studied the millennia-old rituals and customs of various Iranian ethnic groups.
Piltan
is a sonic journey through a vast country full of cultural peculiarities: starting with the southern Zār rituals of the Persian Gulf, moving to the equestrian people of the Bakhtiari in the southwest, on to the Qashqai in the west and to the Kurds in northwestern Iran with their Dervish rituals. "We're not just about Techno," says Pat. "It's about feeling, groove and excitement." Vocal features by renowned Iranian artists are tailored to the songwriting. Singer and percussionist
Habib Meftah
is featured on two songs. On "Shawl",
Mohsen Namjoo
guest stars, another folk expert, singing lyrics by well- known Iranian poets
Daqiqi
and
Farrukhi Sistani
. London singer
Misagh Moradi
is featured on "Without Foot, Without Head", based on texts by world-famous poet
Rumi
.
Piltan
is the follow-up to 2021's
Héle
. Folk meets techno, millennia-old music meets Western club culture.
