Following the singles ‘Utopia Is a A Colonial Project’ and ‘Remember Begum Rokheya’, ‘Remember To Look Out For The Signs’ is the third track taken from Sarathy Korwar’s new album KALAK – an indo-futurist manifesto.
KALAK is the palindromic form of Kal – a Hindi/Urdu word meaning yesterday and also tomorrow – and represents the ancient/futuristic cyclical rhythm coined by Sarathy that makes up the heart of the record. Nowhere is this represented more than on ‘Remember To Look Out For The Signs’, where Korwar’s rhythms close out the record and bring things full circle, ready to begin again.
KALAK will be released on November 11th in three vinyl editions (on black, dark green, and for a special Dinked Edition, crystal clear vinyl) and a CD, each featuring a different cover image. All vinyl editions include an 8-page booklet, created by Sijya Gupta, with Korwar’s notes on the concepts behind the project. The Dinked Edition, available exclusively from select independent UK record shops will also include a rotating card KALAK rhythm wheel. Unfortunately, as is often the case these days, the physical release date will be pushed back outside of the UK and Europe due to shipping delays. We will update this with a firm date when we have it.Pre-order/pre-save now.
Korwar will be making a small number of live appearances around the release of the album, to be followed by wider touring in 2023. Tickets are on sale now and you can find more information on our live page.
