Sabzi (musician)

Alexei Saba Mohajerjasbi, stage name Sabzi, is a Seattle-based producer and DJ. His genre is listed as alternative hip hop, due to its association with hip hop through the use of rap lyrics. He has collaborated three times to form different bands:

He has also guest produced for Das Racist.

Early years

Sabzi's first act, Blue Scholars, was formed with George Quibuyen (A.K.A. MC Geologic), whom he met at the University of Washington where they were students. They both belonged to the student group S.H.O.W. (the Student HipHop Organization of Washington). Blue Scholars soon become a Seattle Underground staple, and declared itself a group dedicated to forward thinking and youth empowerment.

In 2004, Sabzi began working with solo artist RA Scion on his album Live and Learn. By October 2005, the two had released a self-titled album as the duo Common Market. The group found success, as Scion contributed questions about religion, politics and the state of mainstream hip-hop to Sabzi's beats. While there are overt similarities between Blue Scholars and Common Market, the two groups have distinct differences, and "their styles seem to be diverging more".

Sabzi (artist)

Mahmood Sabzi, professionally known as Sabzi, is an Iranian artist known for his abstract impressionist paintings.

Sabzi was born in Ahvaz, Iran. He began painting when he was twelve years old, but eventually earned a bachelor's degree in agricultural engineering at the University of Jundi Shapur.

Initially, Sabzi made realistic paintings inspired by his country's history and culture. He went to exile during the regime of Ruhollah Khomeini, settling in Germany and the United States. During this period, he experimented with figurative and abstract styles. He eventually settled in southern California. Each of his moves was reflected in changes in his style to reflect changes in his environment.

Inspiration

According to Sabzi, he draws inspiration from the Persian rugs created by his mother.

Sabzi's painting style is influenced by the Modernist works of Paul Cézanne and Henri Matisse, as well as by the poet Rumi. Majority of his works feature women in various moods and poses, implying internal conflict.

Clean (EP)

Clean (stylized as Clean.) is the second EP release by American noise rock band Whores. It was released on October 29, 2013, via Brutal Panda Records. The EP was produced and mixed by Ryan Boesch, who is known for his engineering work for acts such as Melvins, Helmet and Foo Fighters.

Critical reception

Upon its release, Clean generally received positive reviews. Natalie Zina Walschots of Exclaim! praised the album, writing: "The songs are appallingly catchy and "Blue Blood," in particular, drives its hooks in as deeps as barbed porcupine quills, refusing to be dislodged. Rarely has an act of musical self-immolation been so enjoyable."Orlando Weekly music reviewer Bao Le-Huu stated: "Dealing in exhilarating violence and rampaging heaviness, this record is kin to releases by bands like Unsane and Pissed Jeans, but with more concussive torque and searing clarity." Andy O'Connor of Pitchfork was rather mixed in his assessment of the album: "It doesn't push or expand the genre, and it doesn't feel like that's the point: it, more or less, feels like they wanted something to put on their merch table, and an excuse to ditch town for a week, and Clean is serving that purpose. Not the worst thing in the world, but also not the most inspired."Sputnikmusic staff reviewer Greg Fisher felt that the album "may not appeal to those who seek experimentation in heavy music", while stating that the band's "ultra-loud brand of noise rock seethes with enough unbridled anger, songwriting dexterity and alluring hooks to exert a lasting impact."
