Azli, the sophomore full-length effort of Srinagar-based artist Ahmer Javed, is an acute aural experience of a psychotic breakdown.
Experienced by a creative trying to hone his craft in an environment engulfed by personal and political conflict, the album dives deep into the heart of Kashmir’s expansive history of folk music, as well as the effects of post traumatic stress suffered by countless families around the world due to similar circumstances that act as triggers.
Azli transports you directly into the middle of an episode that induces anxiety, panic and at times, joy.
