Ember Eyes start things off with a joyful melody of “Bholi Je Hola”. The sound style portrays the title exactly as the album starts off without any warning. The chord changes and melody switches are lovely on the track. The chorus is a lovely one with vocal harmonization carved out of fun and a playful core and a short sweet guitar solo. A lovely way to start things off. “Yathartha” comes in next with a playful snare and guitar intro. Aama mero saathi aaja kaha gayecha? The song feels like a clock ticking away as we speak and sing along. The playful time signatures and switches are a delight. “Aja Farkidaichu” comes in with a contant pluck strum before turning into an alternative beaut. The guitar tones are lovely on this one. The dynamics are lovely on this one. “Upahar” comes in and straight away takes you to MTV2 and MCM days as you tune in and find a new alternative band on the screen and you bob yours head along with a smile. A lovely tune that we’d want to catch live someday. The fifth track is “Rangi Birangi” that switches between a palm mute section – hihahts and a few harmonics spliced in. This one feels like it was already on play for a long time and you just tuned in. Littles nuances and experiments that the band does with small effects or sections at times brings out the color in these tunes. “Thakisakey Ma” starts off as the most post grunge song on this record as the bass and drums make you visualize a dreary red sky. The drumming is lovely on this one as is on the entire album. The quirkiness that the time signature adds makes this song. The switches at the 1.40 mark is lovely turning this into a crusher. “Swikarney Chhau” is the unofficial closure of the album with a Faith No More vibe. Actually the whole record has splashes of FNM sprinkled in between and that definitely is always a good thing. The official closure comes in the form of a rerecorded version of “Prashnottar” and is the most 90s sounding song with high reverb on the vocals and a stoner groove. A fun retake on their older song. All in all, the band definitely has a fresh sound - we do hope though that they will explore more lyrically as well - as that would add a different kind of dynamic to the soundscapes presented. We hope they grow and branch out and we hope to hear more from them. Definitely a band to look forward to.
