Bombay Lunatic Asylum
Mad Song
Oaken Palace Records is excited to present its 20th release, a sonic journey to the roots of drone
music, performed by Bombay Lunatic Asylum. The musicians behind this name are no others than
Louise Landes Levi and Bart De Paepe, who already played together on Ikiru (OAK-013), our
fastest selling release so far. On Mad Song, they are joined by Koen Vandenhoudt, who also
recorded the album.
De Paepes harmonium and Vandenhoudts shruti box form the perfect backdrop for Levis
melancholic, haunting sarangi melodies, slowly evolving and meandering over the albums thirtyfive
minutes. On Mad Songs last track, Levi replaces the sarangi with her no less impressive voice
and finishes the album with a beautiful rendition of Blakes poem of the same title.
For fans of: Louise Landes Levi, Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar, Pandit Pran Nath, Hellvete.
