Summary

Taraneh is the rock-centered multi-genre project of Iranian New York-based singer/songwriter, instrumentalist and producer Taraneh Azar. Taraneh, meaning "melody" or "song" in Farsi, seamlessly weaves together hypnotizing electronic ballads, vulnerable dream-pop elements and hard-hitting grunge riffs to create a gritty landscape of true rock in the modern age. Taraneh is joined by a band of three. "Taraneh's sound has proven to be an enticing enigma — and not entirely for any ultramodern sonics, bells, or whistles. Taraneh delivers the rarity of real rock — refreshing, rough, wily - at times echoing the seductive side of Blondie, at others the brashness of Babes in Toyland, though it's always very much her own at heart." - Alt Press Taraneh's latest record "Unobsession," released 10/10/25, is a hard-rock confessional, synthesizing grunge, nu-metal, prog and doom elements to pioneer a sound uniquely her own.
