ABONECRONEDRONE is intended to provoke a response, so both inner and outer listening are of paramount
importance. "Drones are designed so that you will hear different things in them on different systems, or at different volume levels, even on the same system." Chandra's drones have been laboriously treated and enhanced, so that the emerging harmonics spark melodies which attract the ear on a subtle level.
A spellbinding fusion of Sheila Chandra’s beguiling wordless vocals and instrumentation in ten richly textured ambient soundscapes.
QUIET - the highly anticipated re-issue of a groundbreaking recording by Chandra, an early pioneer of the British music scene and one of the most recognized world music artists.
Sheila Chandra is an early pioneer of the British Indipop music scene and one of the most recognized, best-selling
world music artists. ROOTS AND WINGS was written after her four year sabbatical and, only in her mid-twenties, showcases Chandra's extraordinary and heightened sense of music - of its function and form, depth and mystery.
THIS SENTENCE IS TRUE is something different from everyone's favorite goddess of Indipop, Sheila Chandra. Breaking out of her trademark drones and vocal centered works, Chandra, along with writer/producer Steve Coe, experiment with a fusion of deep vocal textures and surreal electronica soundscapes. From the other-worldly techno-riffs and striking piano chords of "Mien" to "True" with it's three minute build up that's reminiscent of Gregorian chant, it's clear that this songstress is looking to branch out into new territories. This is Chandra's first new album in five years and it proves her ability to stay on the cutting edge.
