I by Gnäw

The Finnish-Iranian duo Gnäw create improvised, experimental music utilizing traditional local instruments and modular synthesizers.

'I' is their debut album, consisting of effortless, free channeling tracks that have appeared as a result of musical dialogue and contemplation.

We believe in improvisation as a tool for mind-travel and alteration. In many ways the tracks on this album are as photographs, glimpses of light, energy, captured. For us the results portray landscapes that are both familiar and adventitious.

"The pair hoisted a big block of esoteric sound in the air and moulded it into these blissfully scorched, psychedelic jams."
- The Quietus

"It’s all about the ride, and I is a weird and wonderful mystery tour."
- Aural Aggrevation
