SPOTLIGHT.
KAPIL SESHASAYEE
INTRODUCTION
Kapil Seshasayee is a polymath, and a true original talent, both as a songwriter and as a soundsmith, a one man combination of Scott Walker, Blood Orange, Arca and Richard Dawson, creating something wholly unique. Combining electronica flourishes evoking FKA Twigs with Indian Classical guitar ornamentations, stunning vocals and a penchant for unorthodox instrumentation such as the aquaphone, Kapil manages to be truly experimental yet still accessible.
Building on the momentum of his acclaimed debut albumA Sacred Bore –featured in Pitchfork, VICE, BBC Introducing, The Guardian, The Quietus, and Rolling Stone India –Kapil makes an eclectic shift away from his experimental roots towards a psychedelic crossover of R&B and avant Indian classical on his upcoming album, Laal.
