So Many Wizards recently debuted two new songs on Aquarium Drunkard and FILTER in preparation for the June 28th "Inner City / Best Friends" limited edition 7-inch release.
Beginning as lead singer, Nima Kazerouni’s solo-project, So Many Wizards took the form of home recordings and a live ensemble of Kazerouni accompanied by television sets displaying prerecorded tracks stacked on top of each other. Shortly after, Kazerouni began collaborating with drummer, Erik Felix and the duo recorded Love Songs For When You Leave Me EP, produced and engineered by Chris Chu from The Morning Benders, at San Francisco’s Different Fur Studios. The EP featured the dreamy song “Nico,” which embodies the band’s ethereal aesthetic. Eventually, Kazerouni recruited filmmaker and bassist Warren Woodward to complete the lineup of the Long Beach bred bedroom pop trio.
So Many Wizards are set to release the “Inner City / Best Friends” 7-inch on a limited edition 70 gram colored vinyl pressing on boutique label, Seven Inch Project. The songs reflect the contrasts realized during Nima Kazerouni’s move from the Los Angeles suburbs to the city. “Inner City” draws from the changes in pollution, poverty, noise and the paranoid uneasiness Kazerouni first experienced. "Best Friends” was written afterwards and further depicts this experience, but in the carefree sense of being able to find pockets of calm within the chaos and the general acceptance and deep appreciation for living in L.A. Together, the two songs strike a balance between anxiety and calm, city and nature.
