### **Recommended Stuff**

My recommendation this week is the music of Iranian composer and instrumentalist Saba Alizadeh and their new album, Temple of Hope. 

The album interprets the [Woman Life Freedom movement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman,%5FLife,%5FFreedom?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) through sound collage and electronica, creating a wide soundscape in turn feels expansive and claustrophobic. 

It's an astounding listen. Highly recommended.

### **Listened Stuff**

Here's ten artists I have listened to this week... 

- Ela Minus
- Robert Leiner
- Saba Alizadeh
- Pantha Du Prince
- zaké
- Salvia
- Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross
- FKA Twigs
- Mogwai
- The Last River Bottomed Fig Plucker

Some these have made my [Highs of 2025 playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/38iyZrpL0wOBNVFvuWvyR0?si=0d8e6467d224441c&ref=mattrutherford.co.uk), where nearly every day I'll try and post a new track that interests me.
