Sarathy Korwar shares new single 'Remember To Look Out For The Signs'

Sarathy Korwar - Remember To Look Out For The Signs

SK9E RGB72

Following the singles ‘Utopia Is a A Colonial Project’ and 'Remember Begum Rokheya’, ‘Remember To Look Out For The Signs’ is the third track taken from Sarathy Korwar’s new album KALAK – an indo-futurist manifesto.

KALAK is the palindromic form of Kal – a Hindi/Urdu word meaning yesterday and also tomorrow – and represents the ancient/futuristic cyclical rhythm coined by Sarathy that makes up the heart of the record. Nowhere is this represented more than on ‘Remember To Look Out For The Signs’, where Korwars rhythms close out the record and bring things full circle, ready to begin again.

“’Remember To Look Out For The Signs' is currently my favourite song on the album,” Korwar explains. “Hypnotic and polyrhythmic drum grooves that epitomise the cyclicality of KALAK. It's a warning call, a reminder that change happens incrementally and if we don't pay attention, it might be too late.”

KALAK will be released on November 11th in three vinyl editions (on black, dark green, and for a special Dinked Edition, crystal clear vinyl) and a CD, each featuring a different cover image. All editions include an 8-page booklet, created by Sijya Gupta, with Korwar’s notes on the concepts behind the project. The Dinked Edition, available exclusively from select independent UK record shops will also include a rotating card KALAK rhythm wheel.
