{"product_id":"glass-beams-mahal","title":"Glass Beams - Mahal","description":"\u003cp\u003eMasked, mysterious and utterly hypnotic, Glass Beams cast a spell on Mahal, a 2024 EP that blends Indian melody with smoky psychedelic grooves, pressed here with a digital download card.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Melbourne project led by Rajan Silva first turned heads with its 2021 debut EP Mirage, and with live videos of the group performing in shimmering gold masks. Mahal, their first release on Ninja Tune, draws on Silva's childhood memories of his father's record collection, where Bollywood soundtracks and blues albums sat side by side. That mix of East and West runs through every bar, filtered through a home-studio approach that is warm, loose and quietly inventive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Horizon\" opens the set with sinuous guitar lines that feel both ancient and futuristic, and the title track \"Mahal\" leans into a hypnotic, trance-like groove. \"Snake Oil\" coils around a slinky rhythm that refuses to hurry, before \"Black Sand\" closes things on a darker, dustier note, the kind of instrumental that sounds like a desert road at dusk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt around twenty minutes, the EP is short but perfectly formed, ideal for flipping over and playing again and again. Anyone drawn to instrumental psych, Ethio-jazz grooves or cinematic, hazy rock will find plenty to fall for here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57439069208881,"sku":"5054429196399","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Glass_Beams-Mahal.jpg?v=1794152635","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/glass-beams-mahal","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
