Nicolas Jaar

2025 marks the 10th anniversary of Pomegranates - Nicolas Jaar's unofficial / alternative soundtrack to Sergei Parajanov's 1969 film The Color of Pomegranates, and to highlight that occasion Other People are reissuing the album on vinyl, with the first edition having long been out of print.

Longer and slower-releasing than his other albums, Pomegranates often parallels the cinematic epic on which it’s based, with ideas pursued over long timelines and across dark landscapes, assembling elements and moods from the aesthetic and folkloric landscapes of Armenia. Jaar's identity is perceived within this, folding in his heritage as Palestinian and Chilean as he attempts to build a musical architecture outwards that frames as much of the mess and sprawl of life as possible, using a language that investigates the movement and fluctuation of his own artistic career and character similarly to the film’s tracing of the coming of age of the young poet, Sayat-Nova.
