In this chat, we get to meet Rostam.
The singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer has a brand new record out now, called American Stories. While you may know him best from his tenure in Vampire Weekend (he formally departed after the first three records, though he co-wrote, performed on, and produced those albums, and continues to work sporadically with the group), Rostam has built a strong solo ouevre at this point. In this talk, he and I talk a lot about the new LP, including lyrical inspiration, musical inspiration, mixing America musical themes and touchstones with Persian ones, and more. It’s a good chat with a special artist. Thank you for listening
