A majestic, sublime, ethereal record by the South-Asian vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and composer ganavya. One of the highlight of 2024 so far, released on Shabaka Hutchings’ Native Rebel Recordings and features collaborations with Shabaka, Floating Points, Shirley Tetteh, Carlos Niño and other fantastic musicians. Well recommended.
