Payuta blends the sound of the Indian sitar with influences from pop, jazz and blues to form a unique musical current. A bubbling, seething, uncommonly rhythmic current in which musical reproductions of the past turn up like rocks at every bend. Riffs from Jumping Jack Flash merge effortlessly with the special aura of the Indian instrument. Like an Eagle is the name of a track with obvious country character and, as it develops, allusions to the memory of the Allman Brothers. Farther downstream, heavy percussion guides the listener through rock-musical chasms from which Payuta’s sitar rises up with the whine of an electric guitar.
