XANIMAL featuring Nagavalli The Awakening

XANIMAL
The Awakening Ft. Nagavalli
New Human Music

An astonishing blend of musicality with the compositional companionship of Claude9’s Claude McCan and Noëlle Hampton of Belle Sounds, XANIMAL move mountains to bring us entertainment. Featuring a guest vocal from Nagavalli, a well-established force of nature in the Indian American scene, the song professes an Eastern edge that delicately haunts and binds. The Awakening is a track written about the shifting of consciousness that we all have the chance to make, although many spend their lives teetering on the edge thinking it’s a drop. Highlighting our connection to something much deeper than our social lives, the evolving Earth works through all of us to bring about the necessary direction. A kind of pansociology of nature awaits us in this fascinating take on existence.

A wave of synth begins the piece as Indian style vocals call out, soaring over the digital landscape. A guitar and drum begin to join the river, like tributaries they glide over and add their energy to the greater mix. The vocals begin with the song; a folk and poetry stylepop melody carries us through the spectral sounds and mesmerising rhythms. A liquid sensation like water washing over ancient wooden apparatus, we can sit and allow the music to continue as we dream along with the bewitching harmonies and ethnic drums, otherworldly and safe, it’s like Enigma with a healthy side dish of Astralasia.
