In a few words

**Parviz**

Parviz's self-titled debut album is slated for 2026, evoking the spirit of Iran's pre-revolutionary '70s music scene. Lead single “Azadeh” — a female given name meaning free spirit & independence — nods to the “Woman Life Freedom” movement and the recent mass uprisings in Iran, with the artwork by Rana Fadavi emphasising their urgency. Its follow-up "Sappho's Fragments" has aired on BBC Radio 6 and totalled more than half a million streams since its release.

Flowery, kaleidoscopic and contemplative, it’s like an old taping of Iran's beloved music show Rangarang brought back to life — with added DIY aesthetics and a certain indie flair. Fierce psychedelic guitars and flowing detuned synths infuse each track with emotion and nostalgia, resulting in a debut that's both rooted in Persian culture and distinctly modern.

After a successful UK tour earlier this year that included 5 sold-out shows, Parviz will be back for the second leg of his Khorshid Khanoom Tour, and will play at Rough Trade Liverpool on 19th November.

**Wiffeney**

Wiffeney is the brainchild of two best friends: Grammy-nominated drummer and producer Jai D (Jay Z, Tyler The Creator, Haelos) and renowned animator Steph Hope (FX Networks, Haruomi Hosono). The band’s sound is soulful vocals over infectious rhythms, sprawling guitars and gloopy synths, along with their trademark psychedelic visuals.
