Azita - Disturbing The Air

· ‘Disturbing The Air’ is the first Azita record since
early 2009 and her fifth album overall.

· This vinyl LP comes with a CD of the music
enclosed.

· For these songs, only the piano proved delicate
and flexible enough to hold Azita as she sang of
unsaid moments, testing the words she heard that
no one else dared to say. Even with a minimal
palette, these performances are a brooding,
commanding lot.

· The music and lyrics are rich and wild at times, a
mere whisper at others. Frequent Azita
collaborator Brian Torrey Scott notes, “We are
presented with a somewhat emotionally
apocalyptic reality, in which someone struggles to
make sense of things, but cannot. The very heart
of this work finds its articulation in an inability to
define.”

· There is calm here - a tenuous calm. The moment
before the storm when all is quiet yet menace
rings in the air, echoed in the moment afterward
when all is still but no less devastated. ‘Disturbing
The Air’ looks at the end as it approaches and sits
at the site of the end, the abyss that cannot be
seen but has nonetheless taken and changed lives.
