Subscribe RSSPrince Rama are a inimitable beast in the modern day music scene. Two sisters born and raised in a Hare Krishna commune in Florida, critical at a Boston Art School who are now a truly avant-garde band living in New York. You can tell why Animal Collective have captivated to Taraka & Nimai Larson's music so much that they released their latest album, Trust Now, on their Paw Tracks label.
The band's strand of psychedelica is intriguingly far removed from the latest brand that The Flaming Lips produce as it almost harkens back to the Acid-soaked sounds you hear in the Psychedelic music produced in the fashionable 60s/early 70s. Unlike most psychedelic acts of today, Prince Rama don't water down their sound too much with 'Western' influences; this isn't a troop playing American music with a few tribal drums or a Sitar. Right from the outset of Trust Now, the Eastern influences one would reckon on from a Hare Krishna raised group are evident in their choice of instruments and style of vocal delivery.
