When I Was Born for the 7th Time

A sun-drenched collage of sitar drones, Bollywood samples, and deadpan Britpop. Effortlessly cool, warm, and deeply nostalgic for a 1997 summer afternoon.

September 8, 1997 · Luaka Bop

A sun-drenched, celebratory collage that feels both deeply nostalgic and effortlessly cool.

Moments Worth Listening For

The infectious, hand-clapped rhythm and celebratory brass that anchors the tribute to Indian cinema on Brimful of Asha.

The surreal transition into a Punjabi-language cover of Norwegian Wood that makes the Beatles classic feel entirely new.

The way the sitar drone in It’s Indian Tobacco My Friend locks into a hypnotic, trip-hop groove.

Joyful+1.3σ

Joyful saturates this record notably more than the artist's norm.
