The third album from Australian-Indian group The Three Seas, Afterlife, reveals a new direction, bringing together influences from funk, dub and pop, whilst being uplifted by the majestic spirit of Baul and Himalayan-folk traditions. Led by saxophonist-composer Matt Keegan, the West Bengali-Sydney collective showcases North Indian folk artists interacting with synthesisers, samplers, dub effects, layers of strings and funk-laiden baritone saxophone. An energetic alchemy that radiates joy all the while pondering existential questions about life and the great beyond.

The nine-track album features the band’s distinctive mix of Bengali-folk, jazz and rock but heralds a new chapter in their thirteen year collaboration.
