Hiatus – Save Yourself

Hiatus AKA HUCK contributor Cyrus Shahrad has just released a video to his new single Save Yourself.

The video is compiled from archive footage of the last century of political and social upheaval in Iran.

This takes place from the industrialisation program of Reza Shah to the revolution that unseated his son, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in 1979.

These events hold a personal significance to Shahrad as the revolution led to his family fleeing the Iranian capital Tehran to the UK when he was barely a year old.

'Save Yourself' is released on December 13 on Lucky Thunder Records.
