Push

Push is Maral’s debut full-length album due on Leaving Records. The album’s sonic palette includes a collage of Iranian classical and folk samples and explores the genres of experimental electronic production, touching upon noise, punk / post-punk and dub. Maral is an active and acclaimed musician in the electronic underground. Her debut mixtape was widely praised and she has contributed to several compilations and Richard Russell’s Crass remix project. Push features dub legend Lee “Scratch” Perry and Penny Rimbaud of Crass. Push is a confident step forward from Maral’s club and mixtape work into a powerful collection of original songs. The album bursts with an urgent psychedelic energy but its songs also grapple with a sombre undercurrent.
