Familial Rot

by Siavash Amini and Matt Finney

supported by

devy_joad Transcendent music, dragging me away to some other place, where I had been long ago. Favorite track: Coyote.

Michael Kurt I am a picky noise/ambient listener. Really picky because it usually isn't for me. But Whole Summer got me super into this album and then both artists involved. The spoken word is very emotional and well written. The music is brooding and then nostalgically beautiful. Favorite track: Whole Summer.

Siavash Amini (Tehran-based musician) returns to Umor Rex with a collaboration with Matt Finney. Like in Till human voices wake us (Umor Rex 2014), where poems by T.S. Eliot were the starting point for the compositions, in Familial Rot each track tries to capture the emotion inside the words of Matt, and to score the images created with those vocal elements. With spontaneous words springing from an improvisational exercise. Siavash Amini expands the scope of the words with refined ambient and drone introspection. Even if the opulent sonic textures and the neo-classic suggestions signature of Amini’s work are here, it is all rather different this time around. There is a larger focus on catharsis, and greater doses of distortion, than in his previous works. Familial Rot is intense and affective. The sounds are made with electric double bass, electric guitar, piano and digital process.

Everywhere at the end of time
by The Caretaker

supported by 23 fans who also own “Familial Rot”

I first listened through this a couple years ago, and I don't know why I hadn't bought it until now. Regardless, I think everyone should listen through this in its entirety at least once, the best way I can describe it is beautifully haunting. I'm sure my favorite track will keep changing forever, too. sethgibbs

All Lanes Of Lilac Evening
by Siavash Amini & Saåad

supported by 18 fans who also own “Familial Rot”

I have Siavash Amini's discography - there are few artists I'm able to listen to at all times. It's natural to cycle thru art dependent on mood, however as mentioned elsewhere, some works are enduring and Siavash's works are definitely included. This collaboration with Saåad is amazing and a welcome addition. vroenis

We, so tired of all the darkness in our lives

One of the best albums to come out of Kirby's music career. I'm amazed that he managed to make drums sound melancholic. Absolutely amazing. hakr0cat
