Brooklyn duo Azar Swan (consisting of Zohra Atash and Joshua Strawn) seem to have an uncanny ability to decipher what makes particular sounds fit together and flow seamlessly off into some musical ephemera. Both Atash and Strawn have made the rounds in previous bands–most notably, both were former members in orchestral goth project Religious To Damn. Mixing an industrial dark-pop sound with Atash’s own indelible vocals, “Lusty,” the latest track to be released from the group, feels cavernous, while at the same time, the track seems to be methodically engulfing the listener note by note–walls and ceiling moving closer on all sides. The group is finishing up material which will be the basis of their debut record, with an eye toward a later spring release. Until then, listen to “Lusty” below.
