"You can hear in Unspoken that Mahan Mirarab is telling the story of a complex journey — and every track on the album is its own musical, and at times melancholic, travel diary. ★★★★"
Rolling Stone / DE
"On Unspoken Mahan Mirarab unveils a unique sound palette, playing a double-necked instrument with both fretted and fretless fingerboards to mingle east and west on a fascinating mix of traditional themes and covers"
The Guardian / GB
An impressive debut: On Unspoken, influences from the musical art of Iran, European musical traditions, and jazz elements merge into a whole that has nothing to do with kitschy 'world music'."
Der Standard / AT
"Mahan Mirarab's double-neck guitar symbolically represents both Iranian musical tradition and jazz. Unspoken is a moving album about closeness, inner conflict, and the beauty of two cultures."
