Kamalata

Kamalata’s debut album Red Lips—sounds from the East Village of NYC—is the arrival of rock at a multicultural multilingual plateau. The sonic soundscape of Red Lips stretches from American folk to classical Persian, punk rock and house. The songs tell of the experience of the generation born in the 1980s to war, consumerism and a seemingly meaningless world.
In songs like "Agent Orange" and "Red Lips" the right to self-sovereignty, the class system, and the condemnation of imperialist wars are voiced, while in songs like "Dirty," "Big Boy Lullaby," "Sabalon" and "Crack Fatso Retardo" themes of fixation and alienation swirl along folk motifs. The two dance tracks on the album, "Das Apple" and"Here and Now" are a nod at Kamalata’s many years in the underground electronic scene.
Kamalata is the artist name of Iranian-American artist Neda Zahraie. The album was recorded in Brooklyn’s Studio G, produced and mixed by Frederik Rubens and mastered by Dave McNair for digital and vinyl. All songs are available in high res 24 bit/96 K WAVs and limited edition 180 gram vinyl.
