ZÖJ will be releasing their sophomore album "GIVE WATER TO BIRDS" on June 20th, seeing Gelareh Pour and Brian O'Dwyer collaborating with guitarist Brett Langsford.
"Give Water to Birds" is a testament to quiet resilience and poetic stillness — a deeply introspective work where ancient echoes meet contemporary textures. It's music that lingers long after the last note, tenderly unearthing emotion with every listen.

From Gela:
This track’s been recorded at MRC when Brian and Myles left me in the main room and said, just play something. I turned the pages on my book and found this amazing poem by Hushang Ebtehaj, and played and sang this piece for the first time. What you hear is what Myles captured in that moment. Feel free to turn on the caption and read the translation.
Please make sure you post/do something to honour this important revolution today. For freedom for #Iran, for freedom for all women in this world.

Thank you all for your support and love.
Woman . Life . Freedom
