Bandcamp Friday 12/2025

Pixel version of the album cover for A Paradise in the Hold by Yazz Ahmed

A Paradise in the Hold
Yazz Ahmed

The surface of the water is cold, a shock, but the deeper you dive, the more your eyes adjust. You catch the twinkles of gold and pearl. Dark space opens up around you, differentiated with subtle textures... To Ahmed, mermaids and pearl divers share this synonymous experience, beautiful even in its danger. Bahraini heritage informs her psychedelic Arabic jazz, an undercurrent of history in the traditional songs of the divers themselves. I had to choose just one track to feature, but if this appeals, I encourage you to listen through the full album--each song expands and builds upon the last. It's the last Bandcamp Friday of the year. Celebrate!
