Los Angeles rocker Imaad Wasif has been overdue to release new music. With his latest album, Dzi, he has put something out for all psychedelic fans to jam to. It may have taken him a couple tries, but hopefully Wasif has heard the saying “third time’s a charm.” Taking hints of Indian raga and mixing them with Western rock, Dzi is an album that, for 11 electrifying tracks, makes one stop and think about his or her life purpose. Wasif’s mixes stay in their own lanes, while his transitions are smooth and sensible. The album might tug at existential feelings, but musically it does something else. And, while it may be difficult to pin down what Dzi is actually about, its tracks are resolute nonetheless. Wasif takes ambivalence and ambiguity and uses them as a powerhouse to accentuate the minimalist nature of his work.
