Description:

Usually a three piece this a solo project by Rishi, but still with the Karmadillo name.

The sounds of the South American charango still feature promininently but due to being in a different countries the bass is being recorded by him and due to a lack of instruments any bass that does feature is actually an acoustic guitar pitchshifted down. There are drum tracks and even one badly played piano track as well!

Rishi is taking the Karmadillo name to the US this Feb playing on tour and visiting friends.

The album title is therefore American Ode-essy and is a tribute to people and experiences in the U S of A he's met on his travels.

Band Bio: Karmadillo are a Cambridge/London based trio started as a solo project in 2002, where they produce their unique brand of quirky acoustic pop folk-rock.

The music of Karmadillo is based on the sound of a traditional yet fun South American instrument mixed with British pop and rock melodies. There is plenty of room for melancholy and sad sounds as well - the charango can be used to produce beautiful, haunting notes. Think Leonard Cohen after he's had some prozac.

In 2008 (once the RPM challenge is out the way) the plan is to record an album of death and money related songs. karmadillo.org has more information.
