Imaad Wasif’s fourth solo album “Dzi” — his first since 2011 — will be out in June. It’s produced by Best Coast’s Bobb Bruno. File under “dream metal.”
EFG, the trio of Imaad Wasif, Josh Garza and Tom Biller, will release a new 7-inch on April 1. “Outlier” is for outsiders everywhere.

The final night of Wasif’s Silver Lake stand promises to be […]
