Warm Nothing

It's taken his whole life so far for Nima Kazerouni and So Many Wizards to make this first album - a life that started in the middle of a war, stretched across five countries and four continents and bounced across Los Angeles' thriving D.I.Y. pop community to land in a live-in office in the middle of the LAX airport (long story) and on a full length debut called Warm Nothing. Now, after years of self taught guitar playing, soul searching for a way through the traumas of childhood, and working to find the kind of inner peace suggested by his album title, Kazerouni has made it to both the physical and philosophical place he's always been looking for. So Many Wizard's Warm Nothing is a deeply personal and idiosyncratic suite of meticulously detailed twee-pop a responding echo to artists like the Neutral Milk Hotel or the Clean, who found power and catharsis both in softness and subtlety instead of over cranked guitars and overwrought lyrics.
