Featuring vocalist and guitarist Tipriti Kharbangar and guitarist and songwriter Rudy Wallang, blues rock act Soulmate are luminaries of the genre in India. Here, Shillong’s most feted band revisits their roots with a glorious blues record. From Wallang’s achingly beautiful guitar solo on “Troubled Times”—a reflection of modern-day political concerns—to Kharbangar’s husky, weathered voice on album highlight “Voodoo Woman”, these indie giants continue to impress with their trademark vivacity.
