For folk rocker Imran Ahmed’s first record since 2010, he’s giving us a first look at how some of his latest romantic exploits have been going: with the simple but seductively charming EP ‘Simone Staring Away.’ With this record, the Greenpoint artist has surpassed his own legacy in creating music that compliments hammocks rocking sexily in exotic locations. It sounds something like Serge Gainsbourg, if the Parisian troubadour was comfortable singing with solo guitar. I’m excited to hear the full-length from where this material is being pulled from. Titled ‘Life at the Zoo,’ the full-length is set to drop sometime next year. Take a listen to ‘Forgiveness’ below to get a sample of what’s to come. Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
