The Iranian-American artist and acclaimed producer returns with a record that explores his life across dual cultural worlds. The music weaves together elements of Americana and Persian traditions, blending finger-picked guitars, pedal steel, and strummed chords with microtonal Persian melodies. \"That marriage of east and west felt like music that I needed to make for this album.\" Interweaving his own experiences, Rostam's lyrics are a collection of stories and reflections, \"The Weight\" takes place on college campuses in America in the spring of 2025. In\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Forgive is to Know,\" Rostam processes real events and the act of songwriting itself. Rostam makes sense of the end of a relationship in \"Hardy ft. Clairo\" and contends with humanity's uncertain future. The result is a record that feels deeply individual yet unmistakably American. \"Ultimately I hope listeners find comfort in this record and I want to leave people with a feeling of optimism.\" \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BWSCD, INC.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52500312457492,"sku":"271166","price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/0491\/7101\/files\/189015e1American_20Stories_20_28Sumac_20Colored_20Vinyl_29_20617308034660.jpg?v=1778791802","url":"https:\/\/yellowracketrecords.com\/products\/rostam-american-stories-sumac-colored-vinyl","provider":"Yellow Racket Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
