"Bow Before the Sun" is the second single from "Fool's Ovation" by Sepehr. -- You wake up abruptly on cold floorboards, your body aching as if from a great fall. White light floods your vision. Where are you? Last thing you can remember you were hurtling through the Genesis Domain at breakneck speed, but this is definitely somewhere different. As your eyes come into focus you see the hall is grand, intimidatingly opulent. A full house of seated onlookers peers at you expectantly. Youre on a stage, you realize. Flames creep up the walls, engulfing the room and lighting the faces in the audience; the heat is oppressive, but nobody seems to notice. A voice booms out. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment youve all been waiting for! Presenting: a performer of great renown all across the land, yours for one night only introducing Tiny bells jangle around your head as you shift your weight, obscuring whatever name the announcer just called out. You try to sit up. The jesters hat tumbles off with a clatter. Not this again, you groan. Your head spins with vertigo. You grimace, trying to remember something. You had just gleaned an urgent and existential truth in the Genesis Domain, but its slipping away now what was it? Off to your left, a whip cracks. The impresario glares at you from the wings, fist clenched around a diamond-encrusted whip, mouthing at you to get up. You try to run, but the weight of an incorporeal authority bears down upon you. The impresario cracks his whip again, an impish smirk forming on his lips. With resignation, you begin to work the room. What else can you do? Tendrils of giggling and gossip creep through your periphery. The heat is suffocating and the smoke stings your eyes, but the show goes on. Remembering your bag of tricks as if from a dream, you raise your hands in the air, invoking the universal call to audience participation. The crowd goes wild. You feel the rush of a familiar thrill. Being the Fool comes naturally to you, you realize, as the palace burns around you. -- Fools Ovation, the new EP from Sepehr, is out on June 12 on Objekts Kapsela imprint.

"Grip & Grace captures a period of inner friction and transformation, a moment where emotions moved faster than words could hold them. Without fully realizing it while creating, tensions, sensations and quiet shifts slowly found their way into the music, until sound itself became the language. It was only later, while finishing the EP and listening back to the tracks, that I understood how deeply this project had absorbed that chapter of my life. Between tension and release, softness and impact, Grip & Grace moves through something instinctive, intimate and deeply physical. Sonically, this EP also marks a turning point for me, the first time my music has felt this embodied, this closely connected to what I was living and feeling while making it." —Leese
