The beautiful thing about pop music is that it is not static. It is adaptive and crafty and can be defined with parameters as wide as a desert sky. Absolutely any genre can be reworked to fit into the pop idiom. From Classical to Black Metal, artists have weaved pop sensibilities of catchy melodies and accessible song structures into their music. In this same vein, The Bamboo Shoots have chosen to use world music influences in their nifty pop songs. South Asian/Indian rhythms and slick samples give the band's EP a timeless yet metropolitan groove.
