More than two years after its last full-length
disc on Mechanoise Labs, Sedaye Marg returns with its first
CD release titled "Frashogard", which literally means
"renewal" in Zoroastrian lore.
Fusing
its signature processed and distorted percussions with tape
loops and strident electronics, "Frashogard" retains
key aspects of the project's previous incarnations while incorporating
its persian influences more visibly, as the focus shifts to
the events in the last two decades which have shaped its inspirations
and its existence. In sum, a soundtrack to military coups, rapid
modernization, misguided faith, betrayals and ultimately rebirth.
While
these references to Iranian history may prove obscure or unusual
for the casual listener, they are the key to understanding what
the essence of Sedaye Marg is, if one chooses to do so. An exigent
approach which is quite in tune with the nature of the music.
