The reasons behind the time between this and the last r8e8r post are not even worth mentioning, and yet I just did mention them.  Anyway, suffice to say that incessant requests for new music from friends and acquaintances have sparked my interest in this silly thing yet again.  And here we are.  Its good to be back.

Iran take ultra catchy pop, and drag it through the detritus of lo-fi noise rock, picking up an ungodly assortment of buzz and blur and scuzz. Imagine a Pavement record on Siltbreeze. Or Sebadoh, if Lou Barlow was a jaded fuck instead of a sappy romantic. Or old Smog covering Skullflower. Or Harry Pussy playing Built To Spill. A beautifully cacophonous mess.  - last.fm

What last.fm didn’t tell you was that this is Kyp Malone’s (TV On The Radio) side project, and the track ‘buddy’ is pretty damn amazing.  This album is scheduled to be release on Feb 3rd, but you can preorder it here:  insound.com
