Shye Ben-Tzur/Various - Ranjha [CD]

Ranjha is the new album and collaboration between award-winning composer and Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood, celebrated composer/musician Shye Ben Tzur, and the Indian ensemble The Rajasthan Express. The upcoming album is a follow-up to their acclaimed debut Junun, which just celebrated its 10th anniversary. While Junun was recorded in a makeshift studio within the 15th-century Mehrangarh Fort in Rajasthan, India, Ranjha was created in a more intimate setting—Jonny Greenwood’s studio in Oxford, England. To the 10th anniversary of Junun, which received widespread critical acclaim—including Album of the Year honours from The Sunday Times, who called it “one of the most inspired releases of the year” and “intriguing, sinuous, and essential listening”— BMG released a special reissue of the original album on 16th January 2026. The making of Junun was also documented by acclaimed filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, offering an intimate look at the creative process and vibrant daily life during the album’s production. Ranjha, set for release on 8th May 2026 will be available in on special Red & Coral Splatter vinyl in Gatefold Sleeve and CD. The album features 11 brand-new tracks, blending the group’s signature cross-cultural sound with a contemporary edge. It arrives on the heels of the highly praised Radiohead tour which concluded in late 2025.
