Second studio album by the English alternative rock group. Produced by Stuart Price (Madonna, The Killers, New Order, Pet Shop Boys) and Kaines (a.k.a. Alex Robertshaw from Everything Everything), the album sees the band continue to step away from the confines and expectations of what an indie band should sound like. Price and Kaines' production brings layers of sonic experimentation and textures to the band's thrillingly grandiose anthems.

Conceptual.
Sundara’ sophomore comes quite quickly after only dropping newest singles directly from the album and with almost no real traction or hype built up. Sundara Karma have grown as a band and shaken off the indie vibes and added the allure of almost 70s glam-rock goths. The album is very much an experiment in trying - fortunately the lead singer Oscar Pollock and his powerhouse voice along wit the multitude of talent from the other band members exceed in producing something very different from their debut. Embodying Bowie’s ethic of reinvention, the album feels like a sensationalist artwork. That being said, they dip into their previous alluring soundscape of sunny indie-pop vibes off their anthemic debut album. The album is a lot of trying this and that, seeing what fits and how to make it work - moments of darkness in some verses that then get shaken and peppered with dramatic climaxes and blaring vocals. Some really meticulous and exciting guitar riffing accompanies the conceptual nature of the album. It’s not an album for one or two tracks, the album is an experience that must be listened to, at least once, to get the gravitas and impact.
