Kapil Seshasayee

MVT Welcome: Thu 19 May | from 20:00 BST

Kapil Seshasayee is a polymath, and a true original talent, both as a songwriter and as a soundsmith, a one man combination of Scott Walker, Blood Orange, Arca and Richard Dawson, creating something wholly unique. Combining electronica flourishes evoking FKA Twigs with Indian Classical guitar ornamentations, stunning vocals and a penchant for unorthodox instrumentation such as the aquaphone, Kapil manages to be truly experimental yet still accessible.

"Seshasayee implicates himself and other diasporic South Asians in perpetuating an indigenous form of injustice carried by migrants to the West, and reinforced through performances of identity that are nostalgic for a rapidly changing culture" - Pitchfork
