Updated on: 24 October, 2025 12:08 PM IST | Arun Khambal
The indie-pop duo Space Salt has returned with their much-awaited second EP, Ctrl Alt Feelings, released on September 17, 2025. This six-track masterpiece serves as a heartfelt journey through emotions that feel both deeply personal and universally relatable. Each song captures moments of chaos, calm, and cathartic release, giving listeners a comforting sense of emotional clarity.
Much like pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete on a frozen system, the EP feels like a gentle emotional reboot. It doesn’t rush you to heal or move on—it simply invites you to pause, breathe, and feel. From its shimmering synths to its reflective lyrics, Ctrl Alt Feelings mirrors modern life: full of noise, nostalgia, and hope.
The EP opens a new chapter for Shravan Sajjan and Atul Arora, the creative minds behind Space Salt. Shravan’s soulful vocals carry the raw emotion of every lyric, while Atul’s crisp drumming and textured production give the music its heartbeat. Together, they’ve crafted an atmosphere that’s at once intimate and cinematic.
Speaking about the project, the duo shared,
“Every lyric in this EP comes from real experiences. We’ve felt heartbreak, confusion, and growth, and we’ve turned all of that into sound. Our goal wasn’t to make people sad—it was to remind them that they’re not alone, and that hope still exists in every feeling.”
The six tracks — Bahana, Khwabøn, Ud Chala!, Khafa, Meherban, and Müskura — explore different emotional landscapes. While Bahana touches on the art of pretending you’re fine, Ud Chala! uplifts with its spirit of freedom. Meherban and Müskura close the EP with tenderness, leaving listeners with warmth and quiet strength.
What makes Ctrl Alt Feelings stand out is its emotional honesty and sonic cohesion. The production, lyrics, and emotion move as one unit, giving the EP a story-like flow. The sound design borrows from both nostalgic indie textures and futuristic pop rhythms, resulting in music that feels timeless yet refreshing.
For listeners overwhelmed by the speed of modern life, Ctrl Alt Feelings offers a pause button—a soft reminder that feeling deeply isn’t a weakness, it’s part of being alive.
Space Salt continues to shape the sound of modern Hindi pop—music that’s not afraid to be emotional, relatable, and real. Their unique ability to merge lyrical vulnerability with vibrant, high-energy production cements them as one of the most exciting indie duos in India’s evolving music scene.
Ctrl Alt Feelings is now streaming on all major platforms. Whether you’re driving alone at night, taking a mental health break, or chasing the sunrise, this EP will find a way to speak to you.
Because sometimes, you don’t need a fix—you just need a reset.
