Description: | Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. Cult band The Bombay Royale return with their third studio masterpiece Run Kitty Run. A retro Bollywood fueled rampage through psyche-surf, 80's electro-pop and desert rock, Run Kitty Run is, like it's predecessors, conceived as the soundtrack to a lost film. The music conjures into life a devastated futuristic landscape peopled by robotic horsemen, killer satellites and grinning sadhus. Overlaid with vocals in Hindi, Bengali and English, the resulting soundtrack is one of love and betrayal, hopeless escapes and unlikely salvation. Recorded between Hope Street Studios in Brunswick and Soundpark Studios in Northcote, Run Kitty Run' was co-produced by Tristan Ludowyk (The Putbacks, The Cactus Channel) and The Skipper aka Andy Williamson. The Bombay Royale has always used vintage Indian cinema as a creative touch stone for their songwriting and the musical influence of greats such as RD Burman, Anandji & Kalyanji and Illayaraja looms large. Not surprisingly their production philosophy is also grounded in this era and has been heavily influenced by the Daptone approach, with most of their songs tracked live in single takes and overdubbing kept to a minimum.Limited to only 200 worldwide.
Some copies of this album come bundled with a digital download card.

"...a self-mythologizing song and dance spectacle..." - ROLLING STONE
The Bombay Royale are a world
conquering cult band hailing from
Melbourne, Australia. Their music is
a red hot masala of surf, spy, space
disco and funk inspired by the sounds
and spirit of 1970s & 80s Bollywood,
led by The Skipper and overlaid with
the voices of protagonists The Tiger
and The Mysterious Lady singing in
Hindi, Bengali and English.
Their third album Run Kitty Run
conjures into life a devastated
futuristic landscape peopled by
robotic horsemen, killer satellites
and grinning sadhus. Overlaid with
vocals n Hindi, Bengali and English,
the resulting soundtrack is one of
love and betrayal, hopeless escapes
and unlikely salvation.
