Rostam’s American Stories is an optimistic collection in spite of “everything around us.”
“There is an opportunity for there to be this expanding notion of what America is,” he told Raina Douris on today’s episode.
The Vampire Weekend founding member and producer also shares his experience of growing up with Middle Eastern music, his parents’ migrant experience from Iran, and on a lighter note, collaborating with Clairo.
American Stories is out now. Watch the full session with live performances of songs from the new record on YouTube or worldcafe.org.
