The trip factor that one associated with Overload hasn't disappeared with Pichal Pairee. The name of the record is enough to generate curiosity, especially since its literal translation from Punjabi is 'the one with twisted feet'. To their credit, Overload live up to their name. It may be twisted (not the kind that makes you want to scream in pain) but the kind that you'd rather enjoy, given the hypnotic qualities of the unit that is Overload. And that is how one would sum up Pichal Pairee. Their return hasn't gone unnoticed like many other bands; even ones with record label deals don't turn heads as much. And this is Overload's strongest point. They know how to sell themselves. The first video off this record, 'Pichal Pairee' is a clear-cut sign. Some may compare Meesha to Amy Winehouse, with that grungy garb and beehive hair, but beyond some uncanny similarities (at least within the video), it is clear that Meesha is no Amy Winehouse.
On 'Pichal Pairee', her vocals are not as flourishing as they are on other tunes on this record but the saving grace of the song remains its thoroughly crafted sound. Even as the song hops into some funky guitars and percussion, there is a definite groove to it that is captivating. What's also interesting is after Overload's self-titled debut (2006), this time the band has come together on every musical front and experimented with rough guitars, slick production, and ambient rock with a sultry vocalist in tow. The genre is hard to describe. The inspiration hails from ambient rock to electronica, funk pop with and an intriguing mix of traditional dhols. Is this record like its predecessor? Yes and no. To some degree, yes, because most of the players are the same but the new additions have mixed the flavour. Overload as a musical outfit have evolved. The most intriguing member of this band is Meesha Shafi, who doubles as a singer and is also one of lyricists on Pichal Pairee.
There are various reasons why Overload's Pichal Pairee not only makes for an interesting listen but it also shows a direction in which music might be headed. This record has been released by the band on their website, (overloadbeats.com) where it can be downloaded for free. There is no record label as yet in the picture and Overload are not worried about it. But that's a completely different story.
