Multi-instrumentalist Amir Yaghmai, who is best known for their work in Daedelus and Julian Casablancas’ band The Voidz, has announced their debut album Go Bozo today.

To celebrate the announcement, Yaghmai unveiled the first single “White Turtleneck,” which can be heard below. The artist said this about the album:

“Go Bozo” was a mantra I made for myself going into this recording process to help me stay instinctual and to not consider anything but what I wanted to hear at any given moment. I’ve always been a collaborator and careful listening/consideration is a huge part of whatever success I’ve had up till now. This record required a completely different approach. Part of the reason for this is practical because of the tightness of the recording schedule(about a day and a half per tune). More importantly “going bozo” helped me to avoid the self consciousness and second guessing that could derail an otherwise inspired session. As Pete(label head, engineer) would put it, “first idea best idea”.

What ended up resulting from this method is a record that combines a few of my favorite aspects and styles of music. The experimental nature of electronic music, the improvisatory qualities of jazz and some stylistic cues from folk music of the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa.

I don’t think I would’ve ever made a solo record on my own and I’m very grateful to Pete and Todd of Colorfield for giving me this opportunity and the confidence to unleash the musical Bozo within.”

Pre-orders for Go Bozo can be made here. The album will be released on October 28 via Colorfield Records. “White Turtleneck” is available on digital services right now.
