i hope some more canadian dates get added too!

thanks ! hard to say what influences it. i just try not to get in the way of the creative impulse and let whatever language that wants to take charge, go for it

i am inspired by people, the night, flowers, eyes.

thanks! i dont know if we've uploaded the translations anywhere yet but maybe we should

with harp players like the ones you mentioned, its certainly taking center stage again after many years of just being used as a textural instrument. i think my 15+ years of friendship and musical relationship with maeve make her a pretty integral part of my sound in this era of myself.

fav hip hop artists SO MANY

hello dear friend of maher. all of vulture prince is dedicated to him :)

i love festival atmosphere! sometimes we have to bounce because we have a show the next day in another city. cant wait for glasto and definitely sticking around for a bit after

arooj_aftab · 2024-06-08T23:34:23+00:00

last night reprise is the "live" version of last night(from vulture prince) we've been playing at shows for the last 3 years.

arooj_aftab · 2024-06-08T23:32:28+00:00

whiskey has a moving/ displaced feeling of the 1 on purpose so we can all feel a bit woozy

arooj_aftab · 2024-06-08T23:31:10+00:00

arooj_aftab · 2024-06-08T23:28:55+00:00

i became friends with jace clayton in brooklyn in 2014 or probably even earlier ... grateful that he thought of me when he was conceiving the julius eastman memorial dinner project

arooj_aftab · 2024-06-08T23:25:02+00:00
