nāsūr ناسور

nāsūr (ناسور) —meaning “a wound that refuses to heal” — traces the fragile hours between midnight and sunrise: a time suspended between agitation and surrender. The album exposes the psyche of a sleepless subject drifting through internal unrest, insomnia, and anger. Across its continuous sonic landscape, distorted drones, dissonant signals from a prepared guitar, low-frequency pulses, and fragments of processed field recordings (captured between 2021 and 2024) try to pull the listener into a psychological turbulence where time folds and disorientation settles in. The final movements of nāsūr surrender to a bleached emotional terrain, where numbness and quiet acceptance replace turmoil. Sunrise doesn’t offer redemption, but rather a mute equilibrium, where the storm has passed, leaving behind a pale silence. Factory-pressed CD, packaged in an LP-style double sleeve with a soft-touch finish. Limited to 100 copies.
