Interview Magazine | Evanora:Unlimited and Taraneh on the Power of Prayer
Before their friendship and musical collaboration materialized, Evanora:Unlimited was having dreams about Taraneh. “They were in my subconscious because I listened to their music so much,” he explained. The pair went from DMing to touring the world together, merging their frenetic styles and finding unexpected waves of inspiration, including a recording of a prayer to Mother Mary that Evanora overhead in Poland (which was eventually interpolated into their new single “Salt Water”). The pair joined last week in a cramped back room during a release party for Taraneh’s solo single to talk about their creative partnership, touring the world together, and making music in a dentist’s office.
