Musical artist
Sam Mehran (/ˈmɜːræn/MUR-an; August 17, 1986 – July 28, 2018) was an American-Australian musician, songwriter, and producer who co-founded the punk band Test Icicles and later formed the solo projects Matrix Metals and Outer Limits Recordings (OLR).[4][5][6] His solo work differed substantially from Test Icicles and was often produced in a lo-fi manner. He received little critical notice in his lifetime, a Dazed Digital editor commented, however, "Mehran possessed an incomparable talent that belied his relatively low public profile." His first album as Matrix Metals, Flamingo Breeze, was described as a pioneering work of the vaporwave genre.[7]
