When Jindabaad! burst on-to the scene two years ago, a band formed from the remains of the super-group ‘Atomic Bush,’ they had a sense of excitement surrounding them that has been carried-on to this day.
When, finally their ‘Plastic Heart EP’ was released a couple of weeks ago, it signaled that the high expectations adjoined with the band, were on the right course to be executed.
Two years on, with a fan following and headlining numerous events, the only disappointment that lies with the Art-Rock group is they released an EP rather than a full-length album.
It has to be made clear that all the members have been well experienced with recording in a studio beforehand, so that production of the EP has been flawless to say the least. And though many of the tracks in the EP has already been heard live, the feel of listening to them in a studio album is understandably different, and in some cases better.
‘Shades of You’ along with ‘BFM’ is the forerunner in the quest of becoming the defining track of the EP.
‘Shades of You’ is attention-grabbing and catchy, along with being technically superb. No instrument is eclipsing any other and the vocal goes along smoothly through the highs and lows of the song. Moreover, the resonating vocal at the end of the song shows the straight-on influence of Pink Floyd on the band. Rajan Shrestha’s bass line is worth complementing here, which is close-to-perfect throughout the album.
Moving on, don’t be fooled by the clean sounding intro of ‘BFM.’ “Now here we are making a fuss/ about nothing, just making the head go rush,” the first couple of lines spit out by Rohit Shakya is enough to make out that the song is about the big mess we all are in.
However, it will be hard for listeners not to like a catchy and popular song like ‘Rewind.’ It certainly isn’t the best song of the EP; however it has become hugely popular. And further complemented by a great video, it has become, unfortunately the song which most of the crowd in a standard concert vie for, rather than ‘BFM’ or ‘Shades of You.’
‘Inmotion’ is an instrumental track, along with being a technical masterpiece. ‘Spoilin,’ with its rather poetic touch is perhaps the only song that doesn’t click at the first listen, and requires growing into.
An all-out impressive first EP by Jindabaad!; and though, the lyrics goes as ‘Just a daze, it’s just a phase,’ in ‘Shades of You’ we all hope that this is not the case.
