Their music is purely instrumental but despite the lack of lyrics their songs are captivating. Arjun\u2019s album Gravity is what one could define as an experience. The first track \u201cGravity\u201d starts off with a soft rock vibe and then decrescendos into a sitar-like rift. Although the track was over 10 minutes, the music didn\u2019t drag by. Each minute was filled with subtle and bold surprises. \u201cAscent\u201d was an interesting track. It had spunk and ambition molded within the chords of the melody. I pictured this being played in the movie Dazed and Confused. \u201cAscent\u201d is definitely a child of the groovy 70s. \u201cBlas\u201d had an aura of danger and mystique. It sounded like the typical \u2018bad boy\u2019 soundtrack but with that vintage flair that is unique to Arjun. I enjoyed Gravity. It reminded me a bit of Jimi Hendrix but it still held a large portion of originality. The modern music that\u2019s out today is nice; but it\u2019s really refreshing when artists choose to go back to the original roots for that added kick that can\u2019t be found anywhere else. Arjun has done this not only skillfully but also successfully. Well done.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Jimi Hendrix, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Aerosmith, Jefferson Airplane, The Beatles, Wild Cherry<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 8 (Gravity), 4 (Ascent), 7 (Blas)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: None<br \/>\nWritten by Tabitha Moore on 09\/28\/2016 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s really refreshing when artists choose to go back to the original roots for that added kick that can\u2019t be found anywhere else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15734,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[181],"tags":[5486,5564,5565,5563,641,5513,1283,5229],"class_list":["post-50299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-rock-rotation","tag-arjun","tag-ascent","tag-blas","tag-gravity","tag-jazz","tag-new-york","tag-rock","tag-tabitha-moore"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15734"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50299\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
