"Pulchowk Dekhi Thapathali" is Artha's debut album, and from acoustic, classic rock, pop, to folk, the album's diversity, which is brought together by an all-encompassing Nepali touch, has set the foundation for the band. With songs about love and nostalgia and a set of simplistic lyrics, the 8-track album is an easy-going listening experience. "Kaalo Kaalo Kesh Timro", a laid-back love song, dons a dynamic composition and a steady build-up coupled with light-hearted words. The album features "Kanchhi", one of the band's most popular songs, and a song almost reminiscent of the Nepali 90s pop. The band's experimental approach to their compositions is depicted in their diverse use of musical instruments and their combination with digital tools. "Mero Saathi" for instance, with Bansuri, Madal and all, flourishes the distinct Nepali folk sound with a dance-y beat. The album portrays groundedness in a thematic sense just as well as it does in a musical sense; the songs reference topics and issues that relate to the Nepali audience. Sandwiched between two very soulful and folk-sy tunes, the funky and upbeat "Siri Maa Siri" is an unexpected break, and the album ends with "Balkhu Dekhi Thapathali", an upbeat tune that references Kathmandu and its streets. Overall, "Pulchowk Dekhi Thapathali'' is a pleasant listening experience, but given its generic lyrics and an all-too-common sound, the band has more to do to establish themselves as distinct and memorable among the Nepali audience.
