    “New Age Prayer” - NYC-based Iranian-American artist Taraneh’s third overall album - is a rock based multi-genre odyssey and exploration into themes of power, advancement and ascension: a testament to Taraneh’s evolving sonic profile as she develops, refines and adventures into a sound uniquely her own. Featuring a series of “sister tracks” which stand as sonic diptychs, mirroring styles from grunge and industrial to electronic, disco and dream pop ballads, Taraneh’s intimate and vulnerable songwriting and distinct voice coupled with the novel production styles of her and her co-producer James Duncan offers a cohesive thread through a story of and journey to transcendence. Executive produced by King Woman (Kris Esfandiari) whose ear for melodic complexity and refinement advances and elevates the progressions into captivating arrangements that jump and swell with grace. Featuring friends and collaborators Evanora Unlimited, LUCY (Cooper B. Handy) and Ivy Knight (in order of appearance), “New Age Prayer” was recorded and engineered by Grant Lepping at Flux Studios in New York’s East Village. It is an incantation of organized chaos, a trance-like meditation — a true prayer for the new age.

I want it all Be the only one Now that you’re through with me I have it all Just wait and see It’s all for me We made a deal You promised me I wanna write it all And here it starts Everything is happening Just the way I want Just a memory Look through the screen Ask and receive She said to me I saw her walk Made a deal with God Made a deal with everything Destroy it all Dance on a string She can’t feel a thing “It’s all for you” he said “Just let me in”

Superstar 03:40
You want it? You got it You want it? You got it You want it? You got it You want it? You got it Won’t you tell me your deepest fear Won’t you tell me you want me near Won’t you whisper in my ear Tell me everything I want to hear Plastic star with a perfect mouth I watch it all dissolving back Into what I wanna see I wanna be your everything Fix your hair and skip the track Transfixed as I run it back Tell me everything you want I can be it all Dead dog looking over my shoulder Leap frog won’t you tell me come over Superstar won’t you outline the order Close my eyes so I can finally hold her Tell me what you want me to be Tell me what you want me to feel Why don’t you tell me your biggest dream Promise I can set you free Plastic doll you’re the biggest star Mail order jesus you’ll save them all With a voice like a song Watch them all sing along Plastic doll won’t you run it back Superstar won’t you hold my hand I have it all And I knew this day would come I’ll tell you what I want you to be I’ll tell you what I want you to feel I’ll tell you what I want And you’ll do it all Anything to touch the sun Anything to sing along Close my eyes to your song Close my eyes to your song Close my eyes to your song You want it? You got it You want it? You got it You want it? You got it You want it? You got it

On Repeat 02:21
Get in the car I’ll tell you what I really mean We could drive far or We could just sit and watch the World bend at our feet To our needs You and me Please let me go You’re not the one I really want And I’m a pro Yeah, I cut it off long ago Yeah I know Oh let me know Or let me go Lay in the sun Watch it dissolve into the street When your time comes, oh, tell me you’ll scream Tell me you’ll say my name on repeat Just for me Oh, something sweet Oh, something real
4.
Prophet 02:40
God's calling through the monitor God's calling through the monitor God's calling through the monitor Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring God's calling through the monitor God's calling through the monitor God's calling through the monitor Wonder what he wants this time... God is a vision in my eyes The prophet is a photograph online The prophet is a vessel in my mind Open up and hear her one last time God is a vision in my eyes The prophet is a photograph online The prophet is a vessel in my mind Open up and hear her one last time Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring He's calling calling calling calling Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring He's calling calling calling calling You spin me in the reaches of my mind You hold me in the passages of time You use me to detect you walk the line Open up I wonder what's inside The prophet is transmitting through the feed The leader is disguised in symmetry I'll meet you in that neutral promised field We're going to dissolve the boundary She's calling calling calling calling You're falling falling falling falling Dissolving in the vision of me Dissolving in desired longing Keep feeding feeding feeding feeding The memory The memory It's all you need It's all you need It's all you need
5.
My World 02:33
Are you talking to me? When you look through the screen Are you looking for me everywhere you go? Are you waiting for me? Am I your beauty queen? Am I your favorite dream, one that you wanna see on repeat? I hear your voice down the hall And you don't scare me at all After all you are nothing but a voice in my head I see you playing it off Like you did nothing wrong And I, I killed you off Before you could break my heart I'm the girl through the door Leave you out in the cold And you're just a character living in my world My world My world And I'm that girl
6.
Dissolving on the heels of my adoring Persuading like a change of heart I’m yearning Something gained the discipline of watching Sitting back to taste it hits like wanting I want to make you see it just a little Wait for me the feeling’s artificial When I’m down the block Run the clock Won’t make it stop Won’t stop my heart You’re calling me up You want it to stop Back in my head like I wanted all along It was nothing at all It was nothing at all It was me all along But you made it feel wrong You made it feel wrong Like nothing at all It was me all along It goes all night long Wont stop till it’s gone Why would I let it go at all ‘Cuz it goes on and on and on And on and on and on No shape and no emotion No rain just frozen oceans When it’s showcased I hope you notice So vague yet so unfocused Spy planes see things unnoticed Dry planes feed plains of locusts Hide pain no faced opponent Eyes strained left mine eroded It was just a thought Just dreamt it up Don’t want it to stop Look backward it’s gone You’re calling me up You want it to stop Back in my head like you wanted all along It was nothing at all It was nothing at all It was me all along but you made it feel wrong You made it feel wrong Like nothing at all It was me all along It goes all night long Won’t stop till it’s gone Why would I let it go at all ‘Cuz it goes on and on and on And on and on and on “My sweetheart, the light of my eyes” give me more, more “May I be sacrificed for you, if I went without you” tell me what it’s for “My sweetheart, the light of my eyes” give me more, more “In the dark of your soul, I would die without you” harder than before No shape and no emotion No rain just frozen oceans When it’s showcased I hope you notice So vague yet so unfocused It was nothing at all It was nothing at all It was me all along But you made it feel wrong You’re jumping the gun You made it feel wrong You made it feel wrong Like nothing at all I’m taking it all I’m taking it all It was nothing at all It was nothing at all It was me all along but you made it feel wrong You made it feel wrong Like nothing at all Like nothing at all

You’re always cool you always play it off Now I’m screaming in the back of the car You’re always cool you always shut me up You’re always cool you always pretend it’s nothing But it’s something to me When I’m screaming in the passenger seat I love it when you turn to me I love it when you say to me Don’t you know you’re nothing to me Close your eyes and go to sleep I love it when you turn to me I love it when you let me know I love it when you let me know It makes no difference if I stay or if I go I love it when you look at me I love it when you stare at me I love looking at you and seeing No love for me and an empty feeling No love for me ‘cuz I’m just what you need No love for me ‘cuz you see what you want to see No love for me ‘cuz you’re my everything
8.
Take it off Take it slow What’s the rush? Where do you wanna go? Take my hand Hold on tight I dreamt about you for a week every night What does it mean When you say to me I love this feeling What I want it be Finally, what I want to be They talk too loud Voices under doors Give me everything I want Give me everything and more Broke my heart Made it hurt After all nothing lasts forever Who taught you to make it hurt? When you realized you can never be her I can’t pick up the phone I’m not there anymore And before you know it she’ll be gone I’ll live forever, melody like a song
9.
You’re waiting in the garden You’re waiting for your best friend You’re waiting for your sweetheart You’re waiting to be born again At the end of the road Wait in the lobby Wait in the hallway Slippin’ toward me Like it’s your birthday Like it’s my birthday Like it’s your last day You’re waiting in the hallway You’re waiting for the next place You’re waiting for the next day You’re waiting to start it over again and over again and over again and over again and over and over Again Just wait for the end It’s coming my darling It’s coming my darling It’s coming my darling Better than you could expect
10.
What do you see When you look at me What do you think Of what it’s come to be May the bridges I burn light the way And guide me home as I go to the next place I lost your number I have nothing left to say I love when tables turn I’ve finally reached the day The day The day The day Sun on the skin It clears a path A sacred stone Kiss on the back A bridge unburned is all I ask I hold it high, no turning back May the bridges I burn light the way And guide me home as I go to the next place I lost your number I have nothing left to say I love when tables turn I’ve finally reached the day The day The day The day In the backseat of your car I can’t hear your voice at all It’s just a whisper of a thought ‘Cuz you’re nothing at all May the bridges I burn light the way May the bridges I burn light the way May the bridges I burn light the way May the bridges I burn light the way I’ve already forgotten your name
11.
Real 02:51
Cry for me So I know it’s real You never told me how you really feel I heard your name on repeat I’ll generate the perfect dream Cry for me (So I) So I know you care I scream your name When you’re not there When you’re not there (You’re) You’re never there Cry for me So I know it’s real
12.
Deal 04:08
Everything is working out so well I don’t see her when I go to sleep I don’t see her when I brush my hair Not even when she’s standing there Not even when she’s standing right in front of me Made a deal with the girl in my head And now the guards are looking out for me Mold the form into a perfect shape Feels like I’m living in a dream One made just for me But when I close my eyes I can see her smile So I just stay there a little while In the back of my mind And when you look at me The whole world’s at my feet Just a broken promise Staring back at me Made a deal with the guards in my head And now the truth is looking out for me Mold the form into a perfect shape Feels like I’m living in a dream And when I’m losing track When I’m watching the time pass I just stay there a little while Submitting to the trance “You’re just a memory The second that you breathe But I’m always a call away If you remember me Everything is working out so well I don’t see her when she’s really there I don’t see her everywhere I look And well now I just don’t even care And when the light drains from your eyes I never feel lonely
13.
Sleep on the floor Dream it up If you’re lucky enough you’ll feel it all Stuck in my head Will it ever end? She turned to me “Forever” she said “Forever” she said Wait so long you can taste it all Walk the fantasy down the block Wait so long you have everything you could ever want You are nothing but an afterthought After everything just know I’ll never call New Age Prayer like a call to arms Like an act of war Like a test of God When he talks to me I can feel it all When you look at me I can taste the fall I can hear the bells, let for forever spawn In my memory like a feeling lost In my DNA I can hear it talk Staring at the ceiling, watch the fan turn I keep hearing “She’s all you’ll ever need” To infinite like an act of God ‘Till I lose my breath I can feel it all I slept on the floor I saw God Ever since I have everything I want I want I want
