There’s a distinct tug-of-war in her music, an understanding that scanning the heavens to answer existential queries isn’t quite enough; there are internal depths to plumb as well. Shashidhar’s first album, 2020’s Rahu, found her voice billowing out of smoky, post-beat-scene soundscapes, meditating on the collective unconscious and the energy exchange between all living things. Her newest work, Soft Echoes, is a bold step forward, eschewing her previous work’s hip-hop tilt for expansive compositions that blend jazz and Indian classical influences into a swirling, spiritual whole.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThough she has an extensive resume as a collaborator in LA’s experimental jazz scene, notching work with the likes of Carlos Niño, Zeroh, and the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, Soft Echoes marks Shashidhar’s first outing as a bandleader. Gathering an ensemble that includes Anna Butters on bass, Julius Rodriguez on keys, Devin Daniels on saxophone, and Timothy Angulo on drums, Shashidhar sought to create a band that ostensibly functioned as an extension of herself. Her primary goals in writing these songs were to “let [her] body do what it wanted to do,” to trust her intuition, and\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e “play without judgment.” Through that process, making Soft Echoes became a practice of presence and exploration, a chance to unlearn rigid structures and rediscover the joy of creating for oneself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecording took place over three brief, distinct sessions at Altamira Sound in Alhambra, California. Though the full band wasn’t ever present at the same time, Soft Echoes sounds like the work of a group in complete, mind-meld focus. Splashy drums nudge up against skronkingsaxophone on “Canyon Song,” while mushrooming synth tones stack up behind rippling Rhodes piano on “Luckiest.” Shashidhar’s elegant voice is the anchor for each of these tracks, sometimes gracefully stretching between instruments like a lithe dancer’s limbs, other times scattering through psychedelic delay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe describes the album as having “two poles,” illustrated by the whimsical, buoyant opener “Soft Echoes” and the darker, more anxiety-ridden closer, “New Echoes.” The songs in between may come from different emotional spaces, but “it’s all really reflective,” she explains. The album can play like a loop, with Shashidhar entering a portal “into the endlessness” during “New Echoes,” only to be transported back to the beginning, full of gratitude and pondering “how strange it is to be alive.” On Soft Echoes, Shashidhar leads us on a journey through her mind, traversing its peaks and canyons in search of greater connection. “I want to take people places,” she says, pausing thoughtfully. “I can’t always guarantee that they’re good places, [but] hopefully you’ll feel something.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Sharada Shashidhar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Leaving Records\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-12-14T06:09:08+09:00","created_at":"2024-12-13T14:51:59+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["folk \/ left-field pop","jazz","leaving records","lp","new"],"price":367000,"price_min":367000,"price_max":367000,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":46948752720122,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Sharada Shashidhar \/\/ Soft Echoes LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":367000,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/shar1.jpg?v=1734069035","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/shar2.jpg?v=1734069035"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/shar1.jpg?v=1734069035","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":35299055632634,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/shar1.jpg?v=1734069035"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/shar1.jpg?v=1734069035","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":35299055665402,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.922,"height":1200,"width":1106,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/shar2.jpg?v=1734069035"},"aspect_ratio":0.922,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/shar2.jpg?v=1734069035","width":1106}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eインド／アメリカのボーカリストSharada Shashidharが、2024年11月にLAの老舗オールジャンルレーベルLeaving Recordsからリリースしたレコードです。\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eスピリチュアル・スムースジャズ〜ジャズ・ポップ6\u003c\/span\u003e曲を収録。DLリンク付属。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1523435891\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/leaving\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/leaving\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \/\/\/ Click \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/leaving\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/leaving\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to see more Leaving Records\/Stones Throw releases available at Tobira. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e---------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes DL link. 12\" black vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1.
