“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.

lyrics
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
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
