Raat

Music of dreams. Listening to Indian atmospheric post-black outfit RAAT is like hurling yourself into a cauldron of swirling, turbulent emotion. Sadness, joy, fear, anger, longing. The music brilliantly shines and broadly sweeps, rings and ripples, frolics and thunders, darts and crashes, turns inward in an appreciation of beauty while beating like an electrified heart. Blasting drums, sandstorm riffage, and tortured screams crash into magical ringing arpeggios, abruptly interrupting their mesmerizing effects. Sweeping synths wash across those sonic typhoons in soaring waves, and just as abruptly the music softens and rings in wondrous celestial vistas above ambling and bursting drum beats, and then cascades into the stars.
