about

So Many Wizards is the dreamy, zany, jangly dream-punk project led by Nima Kazerouni. What  began as a solo bedroom pop project indebted to Syd Barret’s early records, eventually evolved into fully-formed band that has picked up attention from Pitchfork, Stereogum, Aquarium Drunkard, and Impose Magazine; spins on BBC 1, KCRW, and SiriusXM (courtesy of Lou Reed); festival stops at SXSW and CMJ; and US and UK tours. Just one week after the release of their debut album, Warm Nothing, Kazerouni’s daughter was born causing his sudden move to Tucson, Arizona, taking him 500 miles away from his bandmates. Kazerouni spent the better half of the next year flying or driving overnight to meet with his bandmates to cram in practice sessions, recording, and shows. During this time, the band managed to release their “Night Chills”/”Daydream” 7”, a single with Converse Rubber Tracks, and shared the stage with Thee Oh Sees, No Age, Colleen Green, Audacity, Feels, Terry Malts, Lovely Bad Things, and heaps more. All the while, Kazerouni was going through a tumultuous time. He had dealt with anxiety most of his life and had successfully learned to mitigate it. Now as a father, the delusion of adulthood began to set in. He wasn’t where he imagined himself to be at this point in his life, and he looked around and noticed many of his peers weren’t either. These new collection of fears and anxieties began to creep into his psyche. This psychological state was only exacerbated after a series of deaths - a family member, a best friend, and his 8 year long relationship with his girlfriend - all of which were cornerstones of the person he was, and all of which were gone now. The experience left Kazerouni spiritually exhausted, culminating in a nervous breakdown, or “nervous breakthrough,” where he was finally able to lose a grip of himself and let all the problems and anxieties that he tried so hard to ignore, wash over him. It was here where Kazerouni found refuge in the idea of mortality. “None of this matters.” It instilled in him a newfound determination to make the most of the present, because everyone’s life ultimately ends the same way. This emotional journey, from its dark hues to its liberated epiphany, is chronicled in Heavy Vision.
