Anthony Childs Foggy textures, melodic driftwood, hints of far away places and occasional rhythms slightly reminiscent of O Yuki Conjugate, Rapoon and other ambient practitioners of late 80s era though not wholly of that overall sound. Highly recommended. Get the cassette! Favorite track: Beginners in Strata.

Evonity There's an orchestral scent that I really love. It adds something epic to the tracks, no matter how desolate they may sound. The music has been composed and arranged with great creativity. Favorite track: It's Still Around Us.

Lost Tribe Sound A soft flickering flame lies at the center of this album. A loving reflection of Tummala's childhood memories of Bollywood music and reverence for Indian architecture and artistry are expressed utilizing ambient, minimal dub, and other electro-acoustical pathways. Brilliant!

about

P.M. Tummala is a multi-instrumentalist and producer who explores identity and false memories on his new album, Abstractions in Meera. Inspired in equal parts by Indian visual artists and architects like Raza, Gaitonde, Mohamedi, Doshi, and Rewal and the Hindustani, Carnatic, and Tollywood/Bollywood sounds of his childhood, he creates a sound companion to Indian modernism. While Bollywood composers from the '60s and '70s were known to inject western styles like rock, salsa, swing, Philly soul, and disco into their songs, Tummala re-imagines this tradition through a blurred lens of influences that span spiritual jazz, dub, musique concrète, Tropicália, ambient, and hip-hop/vinyl culture. With instrumentation that includes sampler, synthesizers, vibraphone, electric piano, and tape, he spins a dreamlike, lost-in-time collage of warped melodies and ghostly rhythms that plays as an alternate aural history of Indian soundtrack music.

Abstractions in Meera will be released by Monastral on October 29, 2021 as a limited edition cassette and digital download.
