The soothing sound of Eastern alternative rock and honest lyricism – Afthyaro is as easy on the ears just as earnest the effort is. If you are into post-brit pop or the whole pop and indie rock scene of the 00s, this is your Bhakka for sure. Delicious when solved hot, the lyrics are self-reflective and the snare melody driving the tune is lovely. The subtle melody switches are commendable and what’s more appreciable is the lack of any twang in the vocal delivery. A good debut from a band who definitely should be on your sonic radar. Cheers to the East and KLM records.
