Ben Varian & Sarah Safaie- Ark's Joy

On their new record, Ark’s Joy, Ben Varian & Sarah Safaie develop a spontaneous, soul-penetrating blend of sax-driven improvisation and intimate Farsi harmonies, with standout tracks like “shiraz” and “joonam” that part the rainbow-laden skies. Miles Wintner’s evocative artwork frames the album’s dreamlike vision of escape, offering a much-needed balm for turbulent times.
