The backgrounder for “Dance in Your Blood,” the latest single from Omniflux, notes that songwriter Mahsa Zargaran derived inspiration from “long walks listening to Dead Can Dance and Massive Attack.” Sound like a line from a profile on a dating site, right? Awright, we’ll send a wink. “Dance in Your Blood” does indeed conjure up the ethereal greats from the 4AD catalog, with Zargaran’s breathy voice, at once distant and close, cooing over a glaze of synths and beats. The filmy video was directed by Eli Berg in the manner of a dream sequence. Ever since Zargaran, who’s drummed for some notable L.A. bands, embarked on her Omniflux project in 2011, we’ve had visions of a long-player. She has designs on releasing that album this summer.
