Minaxi are no strangers to these pages; the Brooklyn band always make sure they submit their latest efforts, and we’re grateful because the music is always fascinating, blending (as they do) shoegaze and psychedelic rock with Hindustani (Northern Indian classical) music.
Their new album is the very mystical Darbar-e-Ishq, a body of work that carries the listener away in a swirl of sweet-smelling smoke. “Jaan” is a slow-builder, but it’s worth the effort. By the end, you feel like you really experienced something wonderful with these guys.
“Dil-e-Khumaar” (featuring the talents of Milan Ganatra and John Westphal) is more immediate but still blessed with depth.
