May 2022, rich with curious new sounds, shows no signs of slowing down, and for good reason. Just recently, a new album titled “It’s Not the End of the World” dropped on all major streaming platforms. The album is by young London-based music maker Timur Gurbanov, better known in music circles by his stage name Igguana.
The 10 tracks on “It’s Not the End of the World” are a volatile blend of heartfelt indie rock, melodic R’n’B, and soulful hip-hop
This music can be described as thoughtful, relaxing, and enveloping, yet at the same time intelligent, detailed, and stirring. This album makes you reflect, enjoy, and drift on waves of introspection and focus. The inventive sound design makes “It’s Not the End of the World” feel like it belongs to different eras, as if it grows out of various mindsets and cultural soils. This album reconstructs the sensory patterns remembered from the most vulnerable moments of a person’s life. And although a light and unobtrusive feeling dominates during the first listen, the powerful musical aftertaste will not let go of the listener for a long time.
It is an album-memory, an album-wound, an album-journey along a narrow beach path somewhere in the back alleys of a godforsaken world.
