Placebo Laal - Meander

Poor Rich Boy's Zain Ahsan joins forces with Lahori beat-maker Imaad Munzar in the guise of 'Placebo Laal'. The results are nothing short of spectacular. The tune that they've created is called 'Meander', and I've been listening to it repeatedly since it came out. I'm not sure how to define it. It's a laid-back loungy/chillout tune that has been accentuated with the use of minimal percussion and Derek Trucks-y slide guitars. The tape looping and additional keys ensure a lush, well-crafted soundscape. Seen from a slightly different vantage point, I can also imagine a slightly melancholic Pelican sharing his tales of woe to passers-by on a hazy Saturday afternoon at a dock.
