Mumbai-based producer, singer and multi-instrumentalist Sudan aka Pritpal Sudan seemingly becomes a different artist on every song off his 13-track debut album Sudan?
Released in June, the artist who first made a mark as part of alt-pop duo Khoya Firdaus hosted a big, collab-heavy launch gig on Aug. 8 at Antisocial in Mumbai, bringing in the likes of Tejas, Frizzell D’Souza, Anoushka Maskey, Bendi and more.
While making a statement as definitive as one does with an album, there’s a fine line between being all over the place and presenting a spectrum of sound and Sudan builds upon his love for synth experiments to be the latter across 13 songs.

DANCE-FLOOR BLISS AND THE SEARCH FOR (POST-) HUMAN CONNECTION
Over the course of roughly a decade, CARIBOU, the electronic-leaning project from Canadian musician and composer Dan Snaith, has released intricate, sonically inventive records that cradle rhythm and history. On \"Home,\" from 2020's Suddenly, he coos softly alongside a frenetic flip of Gloria Barnes' 1971 single of the same name. There, the subtle cracks and gestures in his voice manage to breathe life into the digitally-manipulated sample. Caribou's music has so far thrived on this quality — Snaith's seemingly boundless musical curiosity and his ability to crystalize big ideas into euphoric moments of dance-floor bliss. It's why his choice to use artificial intelligence on his vocals for his latest album, Honey, feels like a misstep. Here, Snaith's voice is transformed in character and identity, at times creating revelatory moments, like on \"Come Find Me,\" where he's reimagined as a treacly-toned young woman, though in small enough doses for it to work. Elsewhere, like on the rap-adjacent \"Campfire,\" where Snaith renders himself as the sort of rapper you might hear on a Caribou track (think Definitive Jux vibes), the concept breaks down.
