Azari & III unveils debut


Azari & III, who played Paradiso just last week and I wasn’t there (no, I’m not bitter about that…) are readying their debut album. It is slated for an August release per Loose Lips Records. The prelude has already been delivered with ‘Hungry for the Power’, for which a vid came out not too long ago. The album will consist of eleven tracks, including the aforementioned single, a renewed version of 2009 release ‘Manhooker’, and ‘Change of Heart’.

A change of heart is a difficult thing, and no one would willingly decide to undergo this for all the extraneous effects it might have. For it is a sort of a discontinuity really. For you do everything with your heart. Do you like someone, hate  someone, love someone, and change hearts, and suddenly your prior fancies might be your new annoyances. How strange when you walk into the office, Leslie Mendelbaum is already waiting with a zinger to put you in your place, and instead you shake his hand, pet him on the back, and invite him for strudels? Not to mention that he must think it is a ploy, a set-up, a con game, and he accepts the invitation solely because he wants to know what you are up to and to reveal you for the fraud, the fake, the phony you are! However, some say that the change of heart is only a temporary state of affairs and your fancies and hatreds soon will return to the way they once were, certainly after an hour of awkward strudel eating.
