"...prime industrial pop."
-Andy O'Connor, Pitchfork
"Think Kate Bush-meets-Fever Ray, with the duo making music that's as dark as it is catchy."
-Rebecca Willa Davis, Nylon
About Azar Swan:
Formerly the core members of orchestral goth project Religious To Damn, Zohra Atash and Joshua Strawn turn their once instrumental ensemble into a sprawling electro-encased duo whose narrative is framed by noise and driven by drum machine. Industrial Pop: Two parts hard percussion and shimmering ambience, and one part majestic yet pointed vocals. The shift was sparked by a two-fold realization from Atash and Strawn who were looking to consolidate the writing process by eliminating the unnecessary weight that comes with coordinating multiple musicians, combined with a mutual revived interest in electronic music and hip-hop beats.
