What a wonderful surprise! So many of these home-recorded demos are so unplanned and derivative that I almost dread putting them on to listen, but sister and brother duo Mali and Raky Sastri are definitely on the way to creating something amazing here, if the three songs on this demo are any indication. Mali's voice goes from Enya-esque choirgirl heights to a low, throaty, angry growl seemingly without effort, while the combination of her borderline classical piano lines and Raky's oddly arrhythmic percussion equal some wonderfully disturbing songs. My only complaint is that the three songs here leave me wanting to hear more, and pressing the "repeat" button again and again just doesn't cut it.
