Mahal | Limited Orange 140G 12 Vinyl

Glass Beams were formed around founding member Rajan Silva, via the rekindling of childhood memories related to his father, who emigrated to Melbourne from India in the late 1970s. Silva was drawn to the fusion of Western musical styles and traditional Indian music showcased in his father’s music collection. Iconic Bollywood vocalists such as Asha Bhosle coexisted with blues legends like Muddy Waters and DVDs like ‘Concert for George’ - a star-studded tribute to the late Beatles member George Harrison - were in heavy rotation growing up. This cross-pollination of East and West, of old and new, is a sentiment that the trio have sought to capture in their self-produced, serpentine, psychedelic-tinged music. • Fans include King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Jay Electronica, Dave Sitek (TV On The Radio), COLORS, Hiatus Kaiyote, Grimes nad Diplo. • “Superbly poised, the interplay of the musicians takes a minimal arrangement somewhere much grander - deep, engrossing, and melodic, it’s a real triumph.” - Clash • “Songs of supple, undulating beauty as mysterious as the masked trio that made them” - NME
