Apple Music New Album of the Month (India) - October 2019

Apple Editor's Note:

Amidst the incendiary and politically charged rap inundating India’s millennial underground, the laid-back, old-school flow of bilingual Kolkata-based hip-hop crew Park Circus is a welcome change of pace. National Animal sets up treacly, quirky beats (think Deltron 3030 or Dream Warriors) for carefully enunciated—and often darkly comic—verses that present modern snapshots of urban life in India. On the chorally punchy "Blame The President" and disconcertingly gospel-sounding "Small Town/Big City" alike, it's the street smarts and glib wordplay that make this album a winner.

LiveWire Review:

When listening to an album involuntarily makes your feet move, body groove and alarms senior citizens in the metro coach you’re in, you know you have a banger on your hands – well, plugged into your ears.

Yep, the eponymous debut album of Kolkata-based funkadelic hip-hop act Park Circus is definitely one for the ages.

The freshest, most funkadelic hip-hop from Kolkata, India. Azad on the mic, Joy Roy on the bass, and National Animal on the beat.
