Radio City Freedom Recommends: Latest Hits by Your Favourite Indie Artistes: Edition 3

Kolkata alt-rock band, Pelican Shuffles featuring Varun Gujadhur on vocals and guitar, Subhomy Mitra on bass and Aditya Dutta on drums renders the peppy and upbeat Saturday Morning from their five-track EP, Battleground Dreams. The song is a reflection of a lazy afternoon following a very happening Friday night. Perfect for an evening drive back home.

A peppy, upbeat retrospect on a relationship gone awry, Surfing With The Times by Shubangi Joshi Collective featuring vocalist-guitarist-songwriter Shubhangi Joshi, Aamir Ismail on drums and percussion, Nishant Nair on keys and bassist Titus Pinto, is ideal for a karaoke night with friends, at home. Featuring Ajay Jayanthi from Paradigm Shift on violins, the band has also released the official video of the song, directed by Heer Ganjwala.

Inspired by popular verses penned by Baba Bulleh Shah, producers Gaurav Raina and Tapan Raj aka Midival Punditz join forces with Rajasthani folk maestro Kutle Khan to give us Nukhta, a song about overcoming ignorance and material pleasures, leading to eventual discovery of liberation and fulfillment.

Mumbai-based singer-songwriter Maalavika Manoj aka Mali pays ode to a dear musician-friend whom she lost owing to being cheated by a dubious music label. Mango Showers is replete with contemplative verses that reflect hope in the times of despair. An official video of the song, filmed at Jishnu Guha aka Short Rounds residence, has also been released, which reflects the mood and message.

Modern-progressive rock outfit from Bangalore, Pineapple Express offers a musical riot with Colour. As the name suggests, the song is a beautiful blend of Rajasthani folk with contemporary arena-rock sounds that the band is renowned for, serving as an instant mood-lifter.

Karsh Kales penchant for Indian instrumental finds perfect accompaniment with Tarana Marwah aka Komorebis layered vocals, to give us an ambient rendition of love and loss. Just what you need to create an ideal lounge experience.
