Arash Akbari - nāsūr CD ***PRE-ORDER CLOSES 9/1***

THIS ITEM IS A PRE ORDER, I WILL ONLY ORDER WHAT IS NEEDED

nāsūr (ناسور) —meaning “a wound that refuses to heal” — traces the fragile hours between midnight and sunrise: a time suspended between agitation and surrender. The album exposes the psyche of a sleepless subject drifting through internal unrest, insomnia, and anger.

Across its continuous sonic landscape, distorted drones, dissonant signals from a prepared guitar, low-frequency pulses, and fragments of processed field recordings (captured between 2021 and 2024) try to pull the listener into a psychological turbulence where time folds and disorientation settles in.

The final movements of nāsūr surrender to a bleached emotional terrain, where numbness and quiet acceptance replace turmoil. Sunrise doesn’t offer redemption, but rather a mute equilibrium, where the storm has passed, leaving behind a pale silence.
