Review by Emily Genco

Listening to Karsh Kale’s 2010 release Cinema feels like playing laser tag on the beach of a foreign land. Spiraling synth lines and undulations in the album’s flow seemingly trace patterns with each tidal breath.
Fans of electronica will delight in in the echoing, ambient soundscapes Karsh Kale creates. Pulsating instrumentals and progressive grooves combined with globally inspired instrumentation allow Kale to fuse Eastern and Western musical themes creating a complex musical smorgasbord.
“Joy” manages to sound soothing while maintaining a driving beat aided by Vidhi Sharma’s ethereal vocals. By comparison, “Mallika Jam” features sonically darker instrumentation and presents listeners with a track that blends edgier elements of pop and dubstep.
