#164 - Heavenward (Kamtin Mohager)

Kamtin Mohager was known for his time in Teenage Wrist leading
into pandemic, but around 2020 he went through a transition
period. Mohager decided to part ways with Teenage Wrist and
started up Heavenward. It was the first time since The Chain Gang
of 1974 that Mohager had the opportunity to call all of the
shots. He was able to let his true music colors. But, instead of
returning to his dance music routes that listeners became
familiar with while listening to The Chain Gang of 1974, Mohager
continued to build on his shoegaze sound that Teenage Wrist
projected through their music.


Mohager put out an exciting debut record for Heavenward on June
16 labeled Pyrophonics. With so much already accomplished during
his music career, it's hard to find something that Mohager hasn't
covered yet, but he decided to show a side that listeners haven't
seen yet - which was the ultimate recipes for a masterpiece of a
record. Mohager has been living the business side of music since
making it a main focus and signing with a major label. This
record gave him freedom to be creative and go in whatever
direction he felt appropriate. Mohager decided to have his
friends join along, calling it a full collaberation with his
friends, a group that included Nathanial Motte 3OH!3. Experience
is what fueld the drive for this record. At this point Mohager
knows what he wants and what he doesn't want out of his music. He
is all about celebrating small wins at this point in his career
instead of rushing the process. I would say Pyrophonics was
a massive win for Heavenward.
