Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the organic tabla percussion into the heavy, synthetic bass of the title track
The way the cello on 'Tere Khyal' weaves through the traditional vocal melodies with mournful precision
The claustrophobic, ticking percussion on 'Timetrap' that creates a physical sense of urgency
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
