Album in Focus: 'Exotic Legend' by FerrariLover

It has been raining in this city for the last few days and monsoon in a tropical/sub-tropical country is the season of mystique, blues and greys. You could sit with a cup of cinnamon coffee and listen to music and sleep it off - it's blue either way. I have been listening to 'Exotic Legend' for quite a while now and it's going to release officially on 22nd August ; so calling out to all psychedelic rocks and prog fans out there, stay tuned!

The beauty of Psychedelic music, especially instrumentals is that the perception of the immediacy that you're arrested by, inclusive of the music that you're listening to is somewhat set across multiple realities and they can flow through each other like free entities, unbound by molecular density, unbound my the visual three-dimensional way of perceiving things that we have been conditioned to ever since our birth. Now that's defiance in one of its most harmless forms and 'Exotic Legend' is a blend of celestial, dynamic, mysterious, dark, energetic and spontaneous at the same time. It's like a dormant volcano or a meteor shower tangentially coming into contact with gravity! It's a strange experience and studying Pink Floyd for almost six years now, I think I have some right to talk about the originality of psychedelia in music. 


There are a total of eight tracks in the album - Endless Seconds, To The Stars, Silent Lightening Kiss, Fire and Ice, Stealthy, Sultry, Legend and Isitva. 

All of the tracks constituting the album are gems, but my personal favourite would be 'Silent Lightening Kiss' because it plays itself in recurring waves like a chanel of questions, as if it has got this geometric imprint and mapping of a fully formed question mark. It is deep, and it's hollow and it's magical simultaneously. Haven't been this impressed by a guitarist in a long time. Kudos to this woman. 

Her haunting overtures give off an otherworldly vibe, rife with delicate sonic ideas. It’s genre-defying music with a certain mise-en-scène - perhaps something written and danced by PJ Harvey and scored by the young Philip Glass. Or something equally as diaphanous, brainy and compelling.

Although each of these tracks, as I've already mentioned are beautiful, I think the whole album in its totality is a more wholesome experience, one that resembles a journey. 


The last track, called 'Isitva' is actually a Hindi word (noun) derived from Sanskrit that means 'godliness' or 'the power position to rule over humankind'. It's accompanied by a rhythmic pattern that seems to be coming from deep within a waterbody, surfacing before disappearing again. 

'Exotic Legend' does more than what an instrumental album is supposed to do with your brain - it opens up images, portals, sensations and most importantly experiences which would impart unique feelings in case of every individual. In an era where people make mostly market-oriented, conventionally popular music and are thus seldom able to come up with something unanimously immersed in liquifying parity of music and music itself, proud of its own being and persistence, this is one album that I would recommend listening to all aspiring guitarists and every fan of every single form of rock music that the world has given birth to. Great work. Absolutely mesmerised!
