ARIAN SHAFIEE
BEAUTY TUNING
Hausu Mountain
"Arian Shafiee = Noah Creshevsky + Yves Tumor + Oneohtrix Point Never
The debut solo release from Guerilla Toss guitarist Arian Shafiee approaches psychedelic music as an untamable, constantly shifting style. Not only is his music more diverse than the genre typically entails, but his conceptual range is equally varied. Though the touchstones of exoticism, vast, open landscapes and plenty of drug use still inform his music, he extends his scope to encompass more digitally relevant material. Beauty Tuning is mind-altering in the way that stepping outside after a getting locked in a YouTube rabbit hole blurs your vision and stuns you back into physicality. Shafiee makes psychedelia for the fragmented self of the internet age, where reality has taken on the surreal disorientation once reserved for fantasy."
