Rostam - American Stories - Sumac Color Vinyl Record
Rostam's third album, American Stories, marks his return with his first new music in over five years. The Iranian-American artist and acclaimed producer explores his life across dual cultural worlds, weaving together Americana and Persian traditions. Fingerpicked guitars, pedal steel, and strummed chords blend seamlessly with microtonal Persian melodies—a marriage of east and west that defines the album's sound. Lyrically, Rostam draws from personal experience and reflection. "The Weight" captures college campuses in spring 2025, while "Forgive is to Know" processes real events through the lens of songwriting itself. "Hardy" ft. Clairo, examines the end of a relationship, and throughout, he contends with humanity's uncertain future. The result is deeply individual yet unmistakably American—a record designed to offer listeners comfort and optimism.
Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.
Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
