Indie pop, dance, rock, psychedelic, experimental, art…Sundara Karma’s 2nd album is pure elation, based on a narrative of a dystopian present day. Jubilant sounds eminate throughout, a band celebrating ‘One Last Night On This Earth’ and ‘Symbols of Joy & Eternity’, they do so with confidence and anthemic qualities, commentating on album closer ‘Hey pretty boy have you looked outisde? England lost the war to the rising tide’. ‘
‘Illusions’ wraps it’s arms around you with a smooth and soulful guitar lick.
On stand out indie dance track ‘Higher States’, the UK band question you ‘When was the last time you spread your wings?’.
It is an obvious observation that lead singer Oscar ‘Lulu’ Pollock channels doses of Bowie’s vocal sounds. And on a whole there is an eclectism of 80’s and 90’s indie beats.
Sundara Karma are a band at the height of their confidence and exuberance.
