defrogAs you may have noticed, this series has been a little sparse this year. For some reason, it’s been a relatively slow year for new music releases for me. Part of it is to do with budget constraints, but honestly I haven’t heard that many new releases that genuinely knocked me out.
And until recently it was looking as though this might be the first time in the history of this blog that I would have trouble filling out the traditional Top 20 Best Albums Of The Year list.
Luckily for you lot, things have changed a bit as I’ve lucked into some interesting new things, one of which is a ‘60s Bollywood tribute band from Melbourne, Australia.
No, really!
The Bombay Royale started off doing covers of old Bollywood songs from the 60s and 70s, but now basically write soundtracks for imaginary Bollywood films. Their sophomore album, The Island Of Dr Electrico, is out now, and as all the lyrics are in Hindi or Bengali, I don’t understand a word of it.
But boy is it fun – which is the whole point of Bollywood songs, really.
Listen.
Hooray for Bollywood,
This is dF
