Since forming in Los Angeles in 2008, the band has steadily sidestepped trends, creating a sound rooted not in nostalgia, but in feel—instinctual, atmospheric, and often instrumental in its storytelling, even when words are not present. Their records suggest a band uninterested in spectacle, focused instead on tone, pacing, and space. Their last release, Countryman ’82 b/w Dume Room, strips things down even further: two instrumental demos, raw but complete in their intent. “Countryman ’82” rides a pulsing rhythm and circular guitar line that never quite resolves, while “Dume Room” suggests a different kind of tension—slower, hazier, more deliberate. Over the past decade and a half, Allah-Las have released five studio albums, toured across continents, and built an audience that doesn’t need to be told what genre this is. Their sound is built on interplay. They’ve always written songs that work just as well from the back of a room as they do up close. If there’s a larger point to what they do, it might be this: not everything needs to shout to be heard. The new demos also point toward what’s ahead. The band has been expanding its palette in the studio—introducing new instrumentation and pushing further into open-ended arrangements. If “Countryman ’82” and “Dume Room” are any indication, a full instrumental record later this year may find Allah-Las exploring new textures and stretching their sound in unexpected directions. About Rahill Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify Based in upstate New York, Rahill Jamalifard is a multidisciplinary artist working within numerous overlapping musico-poetic traditions. Her creative practice includes songwriting, as well as portraiture, DJing (both radio and live), and a more private pursuit of literature. Informed by her upbringing in a diasporic Iranian-American household, as well as her lifelong, genre-spanning musical explorations, Rahill’s forthcoming solo releases constitute, at once, a natural progression of—and departure from—her work with the seminal NYC psych-rock outfit, Habibi, which she co-founded in early twenty-teens. Rahill’s songs occupy a familiar, contemplative mode—blending jazz, trip/hip-hop, and folk traditions spanning east and west. Ever attentive to the primacy of childhood, the whimsy and the wisdom derived from sober reflection on the paths taken (as well as the ever-present could-have-beens of the paths that weren’t), Rahill’s past and forthcoming music cuts to the quick: songs of love and longing that are universal in their particularity.
