Inder Paul Sandhu – The Colindale Tape
Release Date: Out Now
Oh wow, what have we here? Inder
Paul Sandhu has quite the voice. This new EP, ‘The Colindale Tape’, opens with ‘Letter
to Self’ and it sounds like a lost Marvin Gaye jam singing late at night when
the cracks are appearing at the edges but there’s no stopping that soul oozing
out. ‘Unstoppable’ is up next and the energy picks up with Inder Paul Sandhu
stepping into a more Lenny Kravitz shaped space with dirty, fuzzed up guitars
laying the bed for his voice to do it’s rasping thing all over.
‘Cold’ brings the mood back down
to another late night jam as gently, soulful guitars play out like the wrinkles
in silk sheets meeting that incredible voice somewhere half way across the bed…..baby.
There’s a dramatic melody that introduces ‘Selfish’ before the semi-spoken
vocals join in to clenched eyes and a broken heart pouring out with every note.
The EP closes out with ‘Trash Can Love’ which is not an ode to Oscar the Grouch
but more a reggae inspired jam with wonky guitars and a vibe that says, “I’m
done with this, take it or leave it”. Inder Paul Sandhu has an incredible,
arresting voice and the imagination to turn that voice to a range of different
styles so I’m sticking a pin in this one to see what happens next. Intriguing,
to say the least.
