A video song of the album was released on the same day and available in youtube. The song also serves as the title track of the upcoming documentary "Riders of the Mist".
According to Joi Barua, "It expresses the passion of the Mising jockeys, who hand down the art of riding the indigenous breed of Mising horses bareback down the generations.
It sings about life on the other side - the making of a jockey till the rider melds with the horse and we cannot tell one from the other." (Telegraph). he song,
written by Ibson Lal Baruah, is about the machismo inherent in the more than 100-year-old man-dominated races, popularly known as the Jorhat Derby. The video also
features legendary guitarist from Assam, Kalyan Baruah.
The title song sounds very promising and truly energetic in Joi Barua signature style. The video provides extra horse power to the song too.
It can be assumed that with this second album Joi Barua will create his own genre in Assamese music, a genre that fuses strong sensitive assamese lyrics
in a heavy but melodic fast paced rock music arrangements.
