Hiatus And Shura

Hiatus And Shura is the collaborative project of Cyrus Shahrad, who records as Hiatus, and singer-songwriter Shura. Shahrad has recorded as Hiatus since 2003, making sparse electronica with a haunting, subdued character. The collaboration appears on the EP Fortune's Fool.

Shura describes her own work as “night folk”, a phrase that points to her songwriter roots and the more psychedelic side of her style. Shahrad says he does not place much emphasis on genre labels, but describes the pair’s music as having a melancholic, cinematic quality.
