Parekh & Singh
Ocean (Deluxe)
Album · Pop · 2013
Singer/songwriter Nischay Parekh and drummer/producer Jivraj Singh delivered a charming amalgam of nostalgia-tinged folk pop and indie rock on their debut album, Ocean. With this deluxe version, that disarming directness and understated indie aesthetic—distinct from the bold sounds of the Indian music mainstream—is back with some more dreaminess for added measure. The Kolkata duo blend guitar, synths, keyboards and percussion into a delicate, mesmeric mix, whether singing about homesickness, disillusionment or young love.
