Back From the Brink: Pre-Revolution Psychedelic Rock From Iran - 1973-1979 cover art

Rescuing incredibly rare pre-revolution recordings, this release documents the vibrant, fuzz-drenched psychedelic rock produced in 1970s Iran. The artist brilliantly fuses traditional Persian vocal phrasing with the heavy, blues-driven guitar heroics of Western rock music, capturing a brief, cosmopolitan musical golden age. The archival project introduced a censored, legendary figure to international prominence.
