Unmistakably eastern in direction, the kind of circular sounds that could have a hypnotic effect and ‘Dil’ sure did have us under its spell. Not least because Mumbai’s Joshua Singh has crafted something traditional but also so bent in rolling harmonies this could be Midlake taking a different direction in their folk machinations. That the track also gets all Saturday dancefloor on us is another illustration of an act so fuelled by winning ideas you have to admire how they’ve managed to turn them into a cohesive whole here. In short I love it and I can see how ‘Dil’ could easily stack up alongside Cristobal Tapia De Veer’s ‘Enlightenment’. KH
