Yorkston/Thorne/Khan - a trio of James Yorkston (guitar/nyckelharpa/vocals), Jon Thorne (double-bass/vocals) and Suhail Yusuf Khan (sarangi/vocals) - deliver their new album Navarasa: Nine Emotions. At the heart of YTK's transporting new album is the Indian subcontinent's navarasa; the nine (nava) emotions or sentiments (rasa) of the arts. This central unifying underpinning is a centuries-old organizing principle and directly connects an emotion to each song on the album: ""Sukhe Phool"" - Karuna (sorrow), ""The Shearing's Not for You"" - Bibhatsya (disgust), ""Thumri Bhairavi"" - Raudra (anger), ""Westlin' Winds"" - Adbutha (surprise/wonder), ""Song for Oda"" - Shringara (love/beauty), ""Twa Brothers"" - Bhayanaka (terror/fear), ""Waliyan da Raja"" - Veera (heroism/courage), ""Darbari"" - Shantha (peace/tranquility).
