Kapil Seshasayee - "The Pink Mirror" Single Out Now

5/6/2020

 
The latest single from Kapil Seshasayee's forthcoming studio album is out now. Production, engineering, mixing, mastering and drumming from myself. This song is a cracker, and will be so much fun to play live (if gigs ever actually happen again). "The Pink Mirror” is a sonic essay on censorship and dissonance within LGBT representation in Bollywood cinema. While antiquated portrayals of LGBT caricatures continue to serve as little more than comedic relief in mainstream Indian cinema, attempts by LGBT film makers to tell their own stories are often blocked from release (the song is named after a Hindi film by queer film maker Sridhar Rangayan, which was banned by the Indian Censor Board). "The Pink Mirror" highlights the prevalence of problematic narratives in modern Bollywood films, which includes transphobic portrayals of trans characters as villains trying to deceive other characters through seduction.
