Ears Wide Open: Omniflux

Mahsa Zargaran can be all sticks and fury when she’s banging the skins for L.A. rockers Sabrosa Purr and Big Black Delta, but the Iranian-born multi-instrumentalist is not just a little drummer girl. Zargaran is classically trained pianist –  and, in her solo project Omniflux, a sculptor of brooding art-rock that fans of PJ Harvey and Garbage may want to check out. Omniflux has released a single per month since August, all made in Zargaran’s home studio, and the Corey Nickols-directed video for “Boy Caught in a Dress” plays with the song’s very drummer-girl angst: “I am lost in tangled hair / Feeling like a boy caught in a dress.” If Omniflux keeps releasing music at its current pace, November can’t come soon enough.
