Time Away on dublab.
Maral
creates dense, distorted and wildly textured club music with a darkly psychedelic edge. Drawing on the field recordings and folk music of her Iranian heritage, Maral produces mirrored-reality music that recalls experimental artists like Sussan Deyhim and the depth-charge dub of Lee Scratch Perry. Maral s debut cassette, 2019 s Mahur Club
, served as a statement of intent for the hybrid music she calls folk club. Her latest album, Push
, features Perry, as well as Crass co-founder Penny Rimbaud. She also hosts the show Time Away
on dublab. For the Lockdown Listening series, Maral
spins her greatest influences, ranging from Iranian classical vocal music to Nico s rock-oriented solo work.

But she often seemed to be twisting their structures on purpose, as if trying to wring new information from old shapes. On 2018âs
Like so many others suddenly faced with an excessive amount of downtime over the past year, Jilian Medford has picked up a new hobby: knitting. Her specialty? Hats. “Initially, I just did a YouTube tutorial for elf hats,” she explains while modeling an oversize bell-shaped creation that completely swallows her shaggy brown and bleach-blond hair. By this point, she’s moved on to more experimental forms: beanies with tiny animal ears, a Creamsicle-colored cap that sits on her head like a cartoon carrot, a baby blue number that lands somewhere between giant bunny ears and a
Star Warscreature.
The bubbly 27-year-old is showing off her wares from her home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Silver Lake. Gnawing on a bone next to her is Blueberry, a petite, white rescue pup with a speckled tummy who bears a striking resemblance to Dobby, the house-elf from
