Following his acclaimed debut album ‘A Sacred Bore’ – featured in Pitchfork, VICE, NPR, BBC Introducing, The Guardian, The Quietus, and Rolling Stone India – Scottish-Indian artist KAPIL SESHASAYEE shifts away from the industrial-indie sound of the first full-length and towards an R&B-meets-Indian-Classical crossover on second album ‘Laal’.

While the serrated guitar architecture of Kapil’s first LP put forth a scathing critique of the lingering manifestations of the caste system that permeate Indian communities in the guises of honour-killings and hyper-nationalism, ‘Laal’, the second instalment of his Desifuturist Trilogy, expands on those issues, spotlighting less visible facets of the Bollywood film industry: “Every song from the album is going to tell a story about Bollywood,” says Kapil, ‘“..what’s not immediately visible. I want those stories to illuminate things that people aren't thinking about and empower those who live these stories. Bollywood informs so much of South Asian cultural identity but some of this influence requires greater scrutiny”.

"One of the most promising debut albums to come out of Scotland in recent years" – The Guardian
