Odysseys in Electric Carnatic
Discostan presents the first vinyl release by Sireesha and Sreeusha, better known as the Mandolin Sisters. On their first album for a global audience, the duo revitalizes centuries-old Carnatic compositions with fast, electrified mandolin playing and deep improvisation.
Steeped in classical tradition yet unafraid of innovation, the Sisters have performed more than 3,500 shows and are carrying forward the legacy of U. Srinivas, who first brought the mandolin into South Indian classical music. Across seven tracks, they weave intricate lines, sophisticated harmonies, and spontaneous variations that ensure no performance is ever the same twice.
Discostan, a label dedicated to documenting innovative sounds from South and West Asia and North Africa, adds this release to a catalog that has included reissues of Urdu-language synth pop and Palestine’s first English-language folk songs. Odysseys in Electric Carnatic is both an entry point into contemporary Carnatic music and a revelation for fans of adventurous, genre-expanding sounds.
