Nine Emotions LP

‘Navarasa: Nine Emotions’ is James Yorkston, Jon Thorne and Suhail Yusuf Khan’s third album in four years, and by now their mix of Yorkston’s gentle folk, Thorne’s driving jazz and Khan’s once-in-a-generation mastery of the sarangi – a bowed string instrument said to mimic the human voice– is well-established in certain circles. When they first released music in 2016 they broke genuinely new ground, but their third album together proves they’d only scratched the surface of what’s out there to explore.
