Chandra - 'Lifted'

Throughout these last few years, Bristol-based outfit Chandra have looked to inject a more euphoric edge into their pop-rock ambitions. Originally a venture for frontman Chandra Nair, the project has now blossomed into a fully-fledged four-piece band, regularly turning out a breadth of dazzling delights in recent months. And after a flurry of impressive outings lately, they are now back once again to deliver their vibrant new EP 'Lifted', a release brimming with flair and finesse throughout.

Continuing to explore those uplifting elements they have earned a solid reputation for, 'Lifted' makes for a brilliantly fun and lively listen. Featuring a host of previously unveiled gems, alongside its impactful closer 'Overload', this new six-track collection continues to cement them as one of the more beloved names on the rise, oozing with this inviting energy from beginning to end.

They have certainly made a serious mark on the new music scene, but hearing all of their recent releases under one roof really highlights their innovative pursuits to date. With such a focused approach to their aesthetic at every turn, 'Lifted' is the perfect accompaniment to these breezy summer days.
