Musician, filmmaker, and activist Ariana Delawari has released her double album Entelechy I & II today and shared tracks "The Wonderment" via SPIN's Pure Volume and "The Warrior" via Northern Transmissions. Entelechy, meaning fulfilling one's potential in Greek, is Delawari's second full length. Entelechy I was produced by Butchy Fuego (a.k.a. Electronic artist San Gabriel) and Entelechy II is the same collection of tracks presented as acoustic and unproduced featuring Salar Nader - a fellow Afghan-American and a famed virtuoso of the tabla.

Delawari's voice offers a golden mean between Joan Baez's warm soprano and Kate Bush's intoxicating, otherworldly vocals and permeates the idea of fulfillment throughout the album's entirety. One half of the double album conjures electronic soundscapes. The other is an earthier version of the same 11 songs. Unproduced, it's a raw, radical rethinking of Entelechy I that pleasantly wafts between percussive waltzes and levitating tribal beats. A fictional short film titled Entelechy was also released prior to the album's debut. It serves as the visual manifestation of the album's creative direction. The fictional short was written and directed by Delawari, produced by artist-curator Nicole Disson (Sleepover LA, THE SERIES), and follows Delawari thorugh a guided, shamanic dream-state. It's a mystical musical that introduces the album's themes of spirituality and self-discovery presented as a film about the state of the world, the destruction of the earth, and a dream of a brighter unified future.Links
