Unifying the whole project are the arrangements, which are over the top in the fabulous way that makes Bollywood what it is.

In between you get everything from crime jazz to electro pop to Indian disco. Other highlights include 8, with the bhangra-meets-hip-hop sound of Bally Sagoo and DJ Rekha, and 11 which is back in the Bengali surf mode. The album sprints out of the gate with a funky rocker reminiscent of Dengue Fever (track 1), a song that sounds like Talking Heads with a sitar (2), and one that might be Bengali surf music (3).

This is their third album it’s conceived as the soundtrack to an imaginary lost Bollywood science-fiction epic. Rahman and Ennio Morricone working together, you’ve got an idea of their sound. (Yes, all 11 of them have nicknames – trombonist Ros Jones is The Kungfu Dentist.) They’re inspired in equal parts by Bollywood and spaghetti westerns – if you can imagine A.R. The Bombay Royale has returned guns a-blazing with their new single premiering today, Ballygange.As part of their triumphant third studio album Run Kitty Run, Ballygange is fuelled by vibrancy, a distinctly 80’s vibe and all of that brash confidence that The Bombay Royale have become known for, especially when it has come to their live performances. Not surprisingly their production philosophy is also grounded in this era and has been heavily influenced by the Daptone approach, with most of their songs tracked live in single takes and overdubbing kept to a minimum.The Bombay Royale is an 11-piece band led by saxophonist Andy (The Skipper) Williamson and fronted by two Indian-Australian singers, Parvyn Kaur Singh (aka The Mysterious Lady) and Shourov (The Tiger) Bhattacharya. The Bombay Royale has always used vintage Indian cinema as a creative touch stone for their songwriting and the musical influence of greats such as RD Burman, Anandji & Kalyanji and Illayaraja looms large. Recorded between Hope Street Studios in Brunswick and Soundpark Studios in Northcote, Run Kitty Run' was co-produced by Tristan Ludowyk (The Putbacks, The Cactus Channel) and The Skipper aka Andy Williamson. Overlaid with vocals in Hindi, Bengali and English, the resulting soundtrack is one of love and betrayal, hopeless escapes and unlikely salvation. The music conjures into life a devastated futuristic landscape peopled by robotic horsemen, killer satellites and grinning sadhus. A retro Bollywood fueled rampage through psyche-surf, 80's electro-pop and desert rock, Run Kitty Run is, like it's predecessors, conceived as the soundtrack to a lost film.
