Hey Mandala by Sun Araw is a psychedelic journey that takes the listener on an otherworldly trip. The album is a fusion of sounds that include electronic beats, distorted guitars, and eerie vocals that create a unique blend of experimental music. The tracks on this album are heavily influenced by Indian music and culture, and the use of traditional instruments such as the sitar and tabla add to the mystique of the album.
The album has a dream-like quality to it, with tracks such as "Orthrus" and "Grip" creating a sense of floating in space. The use of reverb and echo on the vocals enhances this feeling, and the listener is transported to another realm. The album also has moments of intensity, such as on the track "Horse Steppin," where the distorted guitars and driving beat create a sense of urgency.
