Imaad Wasif by Imaad Wasif

This album is meant for the late night vibe or the early morning fear but what do I know about setting the mood? I can be the most loveless bastard you’ve ever met or I can love you ‘til you can’t breathe, either way you choose, I will take it too far. So I give you my new solo record and every song on it is a hit. “Spark,” “Out in the Black,” “Whisper,” “Into the Static,” “Fade in Me,” “Isolation,” “Blade,” “Coil,” “Without,” “(Dandelion),” “Tomorrow Is Ours” — these are among my best and most recent compositions.

Some of the things that inspired me during the time of writing these songs were Buddy Holly demos that he recorded at home in NYC shortly before his death, early Joe Meek recording “I Hear A New World,” John Fahey's “The Yellow Princess,” Sylvia Plath's Ariel poems, Truman Capote’s first book “Other Voices, Other Rooms,” Swedish artist Hilma af Klint, and a collection of eastern classical instrumental records of past masters.

Yours truly,

Imaad Wasif
