Edit history

Cheekbone is truly a product of his upbringing - a hybridised weapon of eastern instrumentation and modern EDM. His production intersects post-everything internet ideals with surprisingly cinematic pop-facing songwriting. The Australian-born, Iranian-Canadian stacks up references that shouldn’t work but do. At its core it’s chaos: heavy percussion rhythms thick with bass distortion, melancholic metal guitar working alongside frenetic ney flute and santoor in a pummelling distillation of east meets west. Summoning his unholy communion of Death Pop - Cheekbone debuted the festival stage in style, christening his set at GTM 2019 with crowd surfing and circle pits. Ushering in his soon to be released EP, Cheekbone will deliver releases with cinematic atmosphere and blaring distortion in waves of unapologetic torrents.
