Narked Records is delighted to announce the release of the hotly-anticipated second single, "Illusion," from the Sridhar & Arun Shenoy project. Sridhar assumes lead and backup vocal responsibilities on this single, which sees the duo moving towards an alternative sound with a retro vibe, compared to the hard rock aesthetic of the first single, "Make up Your Mind Or Leave It Behind" released in May 2014.
The artwork for the song features a quirky ambigram for the title - a typographical design that sees the song title reading the same - from an inverted viewpoint. The ambigram has been conceived by art director Roshni Mohapatra and masterfully executed by Rich Lock at Devolution Designs in the UK.
The song was made available for pre-order on iTunes leading up to the official release date on August 05, 2014. One can also stream the full song online at narked.com. Radio promotion is being handled by Jerome Promotions.
SRIDHAR is a Berlin-based songwriter, guitarist, and record producer. He exploded on the scene in the summer of 2009 with Transcend, his rock instrumental debut. This critically-acclaimed album that yielded the hit song "India" bought to focus Sridhar's mastery of guitar technique and song writing, and was followed up by the EP Afterward in 2010 which yielded another hit song in "Folked." In late 2011, Sridhar released Miles, an album that serves as a tribute to the multitude of influences in Sridhar?s musical journey, inspired by sounds from classical music to synthesized soundscapes.
