As a two piece electronic act that puts out experimental music suited to underground club culture, Lateral is something of an outlier in Guwahati, Assam. Although the town treasures its love of music and verve, it’s sentiments have been deeply rooted in a more traditional fare ranging from classic rock and blues to folk and traditional pop. Lateral’s music makes the argument that with an increasingly interconnected world, a more cosmopolitan culture is knocking at the doors of India’s artists and listeners alike.
Brindabani Sarang, Lateral’s new track with Ipsita Bharali, is a celebration of love between a beat and a raga. Using Ipsita’s stunning vocals, and sounds from traditional instruments, the electronic duo has brought to life a classical masterpiece that proudly waves the banner of love in the face of a society reeling from cultural extremism. Brindabani Sarang fuses elements from psychedelic, house, Bollywood and Indian classical music, in what is perhaps Lateral’s most mainstream work yet.
The raga evokes sringara rasa, or the feeling of romantic love, and its recital is believed to have brought Lord Krishna himself to the earth. Set to release on the verge of Janmashtami, the birth anniversary of its protagonist, this track is Lateral’s attempt to capture the soul of Hindustani Classical music and wrap it in an electronic pop heartbeat, speaking of love and hope to a generation in a language that reaches them through time.
“We have collaborated with Ipsita on a number of tracks over the years and were thinking about doing something new and exciting. She suggested her favourite raga (Brindabani Sarang) and we just instantly knew we wanted to make something with this. We’ve never done anything in Hindi in our entire musical careers. This track is an antithesis of everything we’ve done musically since we started playing music. It provided us a very unique opportunity and challenge to bring something that could have a more mainstream appeal and retain our independent/underground vibe. And we couldn’t be more excited.” - Amitabh Barooa, Lateral.
