The shiny, new avatar of Medusa has meandered into the experimental mode and is doing a mighty good job in the electro-rock realm. The four-piece band is tight and has interesting electronic samples thrown in for good measure. The album starts off with Anti-Coke Ganpati – a catchy, song with lyrics that urge, more like, subtly scream for a change. At first, the album could sound much like it’s on loop, but that’s the beauty of it. The more you progress into the album, the more you realise you are addicted to Raxit’s mellow voice and the band’s top-notch musical abilities, including that of drummer Harsh Karangale. One favourite is the slick March. Swimmer stir ups this hauntingly nostalgic emotion. I become I has got the right groove that won’t let you sit still, while Clone is fantastical to the core with mesmerising guitar riffs. It’s an album for pure aural pleasure that is only upped with the album’s super-fine production.
