We’ve been counting down the days since July when Sarathy Korwar announced his seventh album There Is Beauty, There Already, and today the wait gets a little sweeter with the release of two new singles, ‘Beauty Doesn’t Know What It Looks Like’ and ‘We Won’t Go Searching’. With drums at the centre, Korwar has created a 40-minute suite of percussion-led compositions that harness the full melodic and emotive potential of the rhythm. These new singles weave together Indian classical influences with raw and emotive percussion, as layers of drums, handclaps, and pentatonic bells build a hypnotic and intoxicating atmosphere. Listen to both cuts below and grab the album when it’s out on November 7th through Otherland.

To celebrate the album’s release, Korwar will be performing at The ICA on November 15th as part of the London Jazz Festival, where he’ll expand his ensemble to twelve drummers, turning the rhythms of the album into a powerful live experience.
