Nostalghia: The Interview

This past summer at the Toronto edition of Riot Fest I had a chance to sit down with the Iranian-American act Nostalghia, a collaborative group that combines avant-garde ambient music with classical and gothic undertones along with bit of a heavy metal aesthetic.
I spoke with the trio after a relaxed early-afternoon set to talk about how they arrived at their unique sound, and how they feel about being presented to the metal and punk audiences.

Thanks for this interview it was so nice to hear them all share a piece of themselves. One of my favorite bands!

[@cartooneyed]

thats why i love her

[@starkleone8524]

She sounds so different in the songs, i expected her to have an accent

[@suze740]

+Romello Miller Me too!

[@merreepthemerry]

+Romello Miller I believe the accent is supposed to shape the songs the way she wants them to. I grew up in Iran, I speak 5 languages and I don't have an accent.

[@starkleone8524]

+chukonekochu yeah, her voice is unique. I just figured it was her voice but seeing as how it's not it really does add a more complex depth to the songs after listening to them again after hearing her speak

[@merreepthemerry]

Romello Miller An accent can also be helpful for singing certain lyrics. In one of her songs for example, how she pronounces "new" makes the whole rhyme better. It's kinda weird to explain, but I don't think I'm the only one that noticed.
