Press
“On this album, bassist Ketan Bakrania
yields some amazing chops, mixing slap
with tap, all over the board. Each song is
built around the melodiously driven bottom
lines. Ketan’s brother Vijay handles the
guitar work, mixing funky chord progressions
with jazzy solos, constructing a sonically
appealing six minutes of music on
each track. The one vocally oriented song
on this disc is a wacky ode to the splendors
of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.”
