Album Review of "Tehrangeles Vice: Iranian Diaspora Pop 1983–1993" by Various Artists (8/10)

Discotchari
Producer: Zachary Asdourian (executive) 

Tehrangeles Vice: Iranian Diaspora Pop 1983–1993 is a generational rediscovery. Exiled Iranian musicians in post-Islamic Revolution Los Angeles recorded these songs, later unearthed by Armenian-Iranian tastemakers Discotchari. From a vault of Persian pop gems that transcend language and era, they selected 12 tracks to remaster and press to vinyl for the first time. The result is a dazzling mix of disco and rock-infused dance numbers that could soundtrack a roller rink—or Space Mountain.
