Worlds collide when composer Shye Ben Tzur, Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood and Indian ensemble The Rajasthan Express come together — but not in the way you might expect.
Take the sudden trumpet blast and insidious bass line three minutes into the title track; the delayed vocals and sparse, simple drum machine on Roked; the cavernous, feverish echo of Eloah.

A stunning experimental spiral, listen to Junun for the untouchable Kalandar alone.
