Vivek Shraya

I got an e-mail the other day from an independent Canadian musician Vivek Shraya who has just recently released his debut album If We're Not Talking. I was duly impressed with the tracks that I've heard thus far, and it seems to me that Shraya has got a sound that can take him to the top of the elbo.ws charts. The song "Fevered" sounds vocally like an excellent Apples in Stereo song that's got somehow got mixed in a blender with Of Montreal's catchy 60's pop rhythms. "Chemistry" is a little more on the electronic side, with a pounding beat and some kitchy guitars. Be sure to check out his myspace here, and buy If We're Not Talking.
