Fusing tribal percussion, haunting textures, and coarse, tuned metal, Kush Arora‘s recently launched Only Now project has carved out a jarring, apocalyptic self-titled album that’s available now digitally, and on cassette next month via Record Label Records. Pulled from the album is the ritualistic “Needs,” a highly atmospheric cut with dense, otherworldly sound design, echoing chants, dub-tinged flourishes, and trance-inducing rhythms that bring to mind the kuduro dance which the project was heavily influenced by. You can purchase Only Now over at the Only Now Bandcamp page, with the limited edition cassette arriving June 2 and “Needs” available as a free download below.
