Laya Project was released this week in the States, as Earthsync inked a distribution deal with White Swan Records. Also recently out are the producers of Laya, Kartick & Gotam's debut, Business Class Refugees. Previously known as Israeli producer Patrick Sebag and sound designer Yotam Agam, the pair has created one fine introduction to their innovative sound. While some previous characters stumble onto this album's ten tracks, it's predominantly an opportunity for the global-minded duo to fuse styles, such as "Tamil Bossa," adding a bit of South Asian strings to the Brazilian rhythm. "Heer" is a slow and heady number, while "Shiva Sheva" plays off a guitar/sarangi opening into a certifiable groove record. Although the funk at the end peters out, the first eighty percent of this album will warrant many repeat plays. 07/14/10
