Jonny Greenwood
A decade on from Junun, Shye Ben Tzur, Jonny Greenwood and The Rajasthan Express return with Ranjha, swapping Jodhpur’s Mehrangarh Fort for the rather more modest setting of Greenwood’s Oxford studio. With The Smile’s Tom Skinner on drums and twenty-one musicians at full creative tilt, this long-awaited follow-up is a big, rich, funk-leaning record built on ensemble craft and devoted love.
Shye Ben Tzur, Jonny Greenwood and The Rajasthan Express share new single “Shemesh” and its accompanying video, ahead of their album “Ranjha,” out 8th May via World Circuit/BMG. A decade on from Junun, the 21-strong ensemble reconvened in Greenwood’s Oxfordshire studio to channel Sufi devotion, Rajasthani folk and collective musical exploration into a long-awaited follow-up.
