From the get-go, we can tell Banyan intended to create a world for the listener to immerse themselves in with the single "Lion" thanks to the enveloping textures we're acquainted with.
Glossy ethnic instrumentation such as sitars are accompanied by lush pads throughout the track, although it was predominantly the drums I felt moved by - particularly since the kick is IN YOUR FACE whilst vibrant percussion guides the groove. The stellar trumpet-like synth that makes an appearance really brings the track to life especially since it gives "Lion" quite a proud and triumphant feel, which I guess explains the title.
