Fade To Black

Many know Esfand Pourmand as the ex-front man of “Landlord”, a New York City rock band. Others know Esfand from his Sacred Persian music performances at the U.N., Asia Society, and Lincoln Center. So after a couple of years of absence from the music scene, along comes Esfand’s first solo EP released under Green Army Records called “Martyr for Love”. In his first release, Esfand experiments with electronic and pop sounds and melts them with his core influences, with a message that is delivered more powerfully than ever before.
