ZÖJ returns with an intimate Deep Listening experience centered on Give Water to Birds, their hauntingly beautiful second album. Anchored by Gelareh Pour’s soul-stirring vocals and mastery of the khamancheh and qeychak alto, together with Brian O’Dwyer’s nuanced percussion, this album now unfolds further through the delicate guitar of Brett Langsford. His presence doesn’t just expand the soundscape – it subtly reshapes it, “shifting the light” and offering “new textures to ZÖJ’s intricate, intuitive world”.
