“It’s always exciting whenever a distinct new voice makes itself heard on the indie landscape. Amir Motlagh is such a voice.
honest and soulful.. ”
— Adam Schartoff FILMWAX RADIO
“It’s rare to mix rawness with beauty.”
— Pinnland Empire
““These unique experiences are made even more exceptional for their Iranian-American perspective.”
...the experience of both films (MAN + Three Worlds) is one that any film connoisseur must have. To sit with an awareness of the film, and, an awareness of how you are watching it, is a surreal act that can only be described as “art.” Motlagh’s work is definitely a piece of art in the medium of film.”
— Jonita Davis THE IRANIAN
“there is without a doubt a definitive boldness to “Three Worlds”, both in its tone and aspirations, and it will certainly require viewers to lean in a little closer, which is never a bad thing…..a curious and fascinating watch.”
— David Fowlie KEEPING IT REEL

Since we just updated our last post with the alternative art for our 2012 single, TAKE AWAY, it brought back the memory that we had created another version of our cover art for our 2010 ep and debut record, SPIN CYCLE.
This record was purely a solo effort, the first time Amir tried to produce on his own and the first release Amir had after SHANKS AND THE DREAMERS went on permanent hiatus. The song titles reflected the changing seasons, and each track was recorded with the corresponding season.
The particular photo used on the cover below came from a laundry mat in Toluca Lake California, shot on good old 35mm Kodak Stock from a Nikon FE. I believe Kodak Ektachrome color reversal stock was used with, of course, a pretty long exposure.
If you never spun the record, head on over to our Spotify page and give it a go. Please feel free to add any of the tracks to your classic 21st-century playlists :)
