25 Jan 2012 — Tonje Thilesen
I guess you could say that we're a bit late on this once for once (thanks to
Stingby for leading us to them in the first place, however); but considering the fact that NY's collaborative outfit
In India and their LP
<><><> has gotten so little attention even after a year since the
free release at
Klånge (curated by Joseph Beers from the band), is to me nothing but mysterious. In India experiments with quirky, psychedelic pop and (children's) bedroom electronica, literally setting no limits to the exploration of their own sound universe. It can be curious, playful or noisy in the one end, however smooth and beautiful (like "Some Future Spring" below) on the other, which makes the impossibly pronounced name of the album an interesting, but weird hour of listening.
For the particularly interested, they also unveiled no more than
46 (!) unreleased tracks in two large, and again, free albums named
you who cling to the rope of love and
you with the golden complexion, so if you feel like there's something missing, go ahead and dig yourself through this massive collection; highly recommended for treasure hunters like ourselves.
In India - Some Future Spring
