On their long-awaited second album, fusion collective Thaikkudam Bridge are something like a dream team. “Saawariya” features stirring sarangi from veteran Pandit Ram Narayan, while Anandraj Benjamin Paul (previously part of Malayalam rockers Avial) lends his distinct powerhouse vocals for “Kanne”. The Indian classical spectrum is repped by veena artist Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt (“Kalliyankatt Neeli”) and flautist Rakesh Chaurasia (“Kaadum Malayum”). But Namah also leans on soaring metal—courtesy of drummers Marco Minnemann (“Inside My Head”) and Chris Adler (“Thekkini”)—and a buoyant synth-disco detour with Dream Theater’s Jordan Rudess on “Saalaikal”.
