Lalon Breaks Free :-) - rock band Lalon releases their 2nd studio album


Lalon Breaks Free :-)
By Faizul Khan Tanim/www.amaderGaan.com

The preaching and philosophy of Lalon is indeed so powerful that even the stones could not hold them. The “awareness” did not want to be protected inside the carved statuettes…not even in the form of exclusive sculptures. So, they have finally broken free and came to cater our craving for Lalon’s ideology and spiritual realization.

Lalon lives within these five individuals in a rock band called Lalon and his immortal poetry of philosophical significance this time affectionately advocates peace through rock presentations.

I would like to remember today's gig as Somi the front man of Lalon rocking a concert just like Dolores of The Cranberries rocks every stage she is on and I humbly wait for that day when an international artist would be addressed ''hey, there goes the Somi of our country''.

Her good looks and boyish charms - short hair, big black bindi on forehead, scarf neatly messy round the neck disappears to her singing prowess like a feline's proud crusade.

I hope by now music aficionados can expect the expression of music delivery i'm talking about. Well, their softer songs like Krishno Prem-e are equally and abusively beautiful as their hard rock number Shudha Shindhu.

When I read the CD sleeve album title Khyapa – meaning angry in Bangla – it relayed truly a fierce image and their performance at their album launching ceremony gave me immense kicks without substance abuse. Kept me thinking of a human bomb detonating on stage, delivering stylish and melodic aggression as loud as the ''weapons of mass destruction'' and as big and beautiful as a utopian dream where Lalon (The Leader) strumming Ektara and crying ''give peace a chance''.

Hold on! The CD does not get its proper respect if someone is not reckoning the guitar artist Leemon – an urban bard ish character, who has the right amount of psychedelic energy stored in his fingers and most importantly, he delivers them with grace.

The production, sound and mixing of this album not only outshines their debut but elegantly proves how too much experimenting and engineering can lead to substandard outputs. Kudos to the band for both my bad earphones and stereo speakers will be entertained until the next best folk fusion compilation releases.
