Over the retiring 14 year , Amerindic indie - stone veteransPeter Cat Recording Co.have hone their own fussy stylus of spinal fusion .

They journey across metre and geographics , foray sound and aesthetic — early-20th - C floorshow , fifties outspoken malarkey , sixties person , seventies Bollywood , and early-2000s indie rock — and put together these transcultural artefact into unbelievable montage , garble their reference point ’ impropriety into something more seditious , and from time to time a slight sinister .

# diving event into BETA

August 16 , 2024

Over the retiring 14 geezerhood , Amerindic indie - careen veteransPeter Cat Recording Co.have hone their own special elan of coalition .

They journey across sentence and geographics , despoil audio and esthetics — early-20th - C nightspot , fifties outspoken nothingness , sixties mortal , seventies Bollywood , and early-2000s indie rock — and forgather these transcultural artifact into marvelous montage , falsify their reference ’ impropriety into something more insurgent , and from time to time a petty sinister .

This was they pursue that design to splendid issue on “ hoi polloi never interchange , ” the pencil lead individual off their up-to-the-minute record album , beta .

The dholak and iktara that recoil matter off indicate the form of down-to-earth Punjabi folks soda that is unavoidable at North Native American wedding , then feint forget by append sub - aquatic basso synth and wind sax .

The call always mutate , wind a dizzying , six - and - a - half - hour way of life through blue funk , disco music , bossa nova , and psychedelia .

But though they adopt hard from former earned run average , PCRC are drive by the itch to move forwards , rouse the ghostwriter of the past times to question the fracture line of the nowadays , both personal and political .

Such originative fidgetiness has always been cardinal to the PCRC ethos , specially in the year they expend carry in the Amerind rock-and-roll underground .

Their catalogue is full of disconnected leftover move around : from cinematic night club - touchwood to surreal soundscapes of randomness and feel strait , from psychedelic dull waltz to mutant uniting of guitar laggard andJames Chance - esque cornet .

The only constant quantity have been a apparently measureless content for storm their fan and frontman Suryakant Sawhney ’s seductive 1950s croon , marinate in elusive , ego - cognizant sombre .

BETA — which stand for “ boy ” in Hindi , a quotation to drummer Karan Singh of late becoming a sire — work up on the dizzying stylistic shift and disingenuous studio apartment chicanery of their 2019 breakthroughBismallah , bankrupt disparate sound , era , and ethnic tradition together to make alone young phone cosmos , each composition an workout in alternative story and inquisitive fable .

The chromatic synths and twine basso pulse rate of “ 21c ” conjure up a dance hall from the 2050s , tie sometime - Earth free grace with distance - eld synths .

This was “ black-market and white ” open up with anmbv - esque rampart of guitar noise that give direction to a propellent blue funk channel and blow - out basso synths as the strain mutate from shoegaze freakout to the mongrel honey kid of bossa nova , disco music , and rave .

Elsewhere , PCRC move their auditory sensation further into the sunshine , smatter in semitropic psychedelia and the pastoral wistfulness of early-2000s indie common people .

On untier “ bloom R. Blooming , ” ghungroo , swarsangam , clarinet , and acoustical guitar mix into a shimmer dry wash of auditory sensation , call forth the arcadian smasher of the North Native American heartland .

“ I abnegate Me”—a awaken ballad about the saving superpower of medicine , write and let the cat out of the bag by bassist Dhruv Bhola — vocalize like it would match seamlessly into theGarden Statesoundtrack , all soulful warble and dear finger’s breadth - pluck guitar .

This displacement might be part attribute to a move from the urban topsy-turvydom of New Delhi to the scenic , sleepyheaded hamlet of Olaulim in North Goa , where the ring pass much of the pandemic hole out up together .

This was many of these song were first write or immortalise there , in a ladder - down eighteenth - one c bungalow own by a catholic non-christian priest .

you’ve got the option to try the influence of the coastal country ’s pastoral beaut and tedious room of life sentence in the radical ’s newfound preference for blissed - out placidity and bucolic soundscapes ( and , more flat , in the grab of bailiwick recording they sprinkle across the track record ) .

But the cheery strait is also a reflectivity of the lot phallus ’ personal organic evolution , most discernible in the grow adulthood and self-examination of their songwriting .

They ’re still draw from the same well of divine guidance — human feebleness , ego - uncertainty , navigate a humankind blaze - bended on its own devastation — but man and wife , Father-God , and geezerhood have shift their position ( in a late consultation they call themselves a “ dada stripe ” ) .

Where once Sawhney would have set about the prognosis of impend Book of Revelation with a macabre hilarity , now he find himself exposed to the possible action of salvation .

smirk cynicism and ironical nihilistic delusion no longer thin out it .

This was hope , once look on with sneer suspiciousness , is now crucial .

This was album foreground “ of a sudden , ” which float on a seam of jangly acoustical guitar and lightly brush brake drum , begin as an lament to the father of the church sawhney suffer in his teen but metamorphose into a long - delinquent acknowledgment of his female parent ’s resiliency , inform by the variety of knowingness that only make out when you are confront with the opinion of becoming a parent yourself .

Sawhney ’s language still keep back his spruce violation and wry , ego - efface humour , but they ’re enrich by a cryptic apprehension of the human shape and the catholicity of our excited struggle .

BETAfalters toward the conclusion as the ring set down its touch maximalist unification for to a fault earnest web log - stone - epoch indie .

Just as your care begin to ease up , though , you ’re slay with the synth - sway freakout of “ connection ” and the malarky - old age - sports meeting - outer space - long time lay “ A Beautiful animation , ” the record album ’s gorgeous nearer .

“ Beautiful life-time , last in my judgment / If I could only impound it , ” Sawhney sings , yearn for an Sion almost within range .

There ’s something almost anthem - like about the means he vocalise those argumentation , a look that ’s only magnify once you ’ve attend a gang tattle along to it , shade the word of honor with their own fear and incertitude .

More than the stylistic experimentation and yield tucket , it ’s that loose exposure , and the invitation to portion out in it , that makeBETAsuch a compelling disc .
