Parviz

Parviz's self-titled debut album is slated for 2026, evoking the spirit of Iran's pre-revolutionary '70s music scene. The lead single "Azadeh" — a female given name symbolizing independence — nods to the recent "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement, with artwork by Rana Fadavi emphasizing its urgency.

Piercing guitars and flowing detuned synthesizers create a dreamy, psychedelic atmosphere throughout the opus; DIY aesthetics and indie influences infuse each track with emotion and nostalgia, resulting in a debut that's both rooted in Persian culture and distinctly modern.

With his first album, Parviz crafts a delicate balance of cultural homage and forward-thinking artistry, marking him as a noteworthy new voice in the indie music landscape.
