Staying in Los Angeles. Under the moniker Railcars, Aria Jalali makes psychedelic noise for noisy psychedelics, raw and harsh sounds that almost shred your subconscious before the underlying melodic structure creeps out of the fuzz just in time to unravel songs with more subtle beauty than one might have expected. Still, the whole deal remains a tough listen throughout Railcars' first two EP's Cities vs. Submarines (2008, produced by Jamie from Xiu Xiu) and Cathedral With No Eyes (2009, both on Gold Robot), but the experimental sounds Jalali delivers are worth sticking with as they will uncover more layers of splendour each time you come back to listen to them.
Aria Jalali is currently working on his debut LP and of a cover of Kate Bush's Hounds of Love, and has just released a remix album of Cathedral With No Eyes, featuring reworks by amazing artists such as Xiu Xiu, No Age, Jeans Wilder, Truman Peyote, White Rainbow, and Lucky Dragons. It is available as a free download over here.
Along with one of those captivating remixes and the title track of Railcars' sophomore EP, Jalali has made available the as yet unreleased tune Stray Dogs of Wroclaw, an enthralling nine minute trip into other spheres that's slightly reminiscent of Not Not Fun's label roster. With already such a multifaceted output, the forthcoming full-length is for sure something to be excited about.
