Celebrated Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez pronounced it best by observant that life is tangible not by a experiences, though by how we remember them. For artistes, nostalgia can be a absolute opiate to a artistic process. It takes good artistes to arise and pierce over it. Our initial sampling of Easy Wanderlings’ song starts with a shade of honeyed nostalgia before finding a band’s initial repertoire.

Lead guitarist and songwriter Sanyanth Naroth tells us, “We listen to all kinds of music. When we jam, we tend to massage off on any other. In a early years, we had an easy listening kind of sound. Now, we are distant some-more experimental.” The examination has valid successful to contend a least. The common was awarded a Best Band during a Indian Music Diaries endowment in 2020. They have been recognized as a rising artist by Spotify’s Radar and Apple’s UP Next module in 2021. This weekend, they arrive in Mumbai to perform on a NCPA theatre alongside Bombay Brass.

“Earlier we would entertain ourselves by observant ‘it would be good to perform on a grand theatre someday.’ Cut to 6 years later, we are here,” Naroth recalls. The eight-member common —  Malay Vadalkar, Nitin Muralikrishna, Abraham Zachariah, Pratika Gopinath, Sharad Rao, Shardul Bapat, Siya Ragade and Sanyanth Naroth — was shaped in 2015 as a partnership between friends.  For their early albums, they insisted on being addressed usually by a rope name. “We wanted a song to be a temperament rather than a people behind it. That is a core of a rope even now,” Naroth explains.

The Mumbai gig will see a rope check a list of their renouned compositions from Make it my move, Eye for small things, Enjoy it while it lasts as good as a latest, Enemy, and some covers. Their character ranges from Indi-pop and Indie-folk to motown and funk. “The suggestion of Easy Wanderlings will always be to constraint elementary observations, conversations and memories around us,” Naroth says.

The rope also has an EP recover lined up. “We devise to recover an EP called Caught in a march in a few months. We are putting a final touches on it,” Naroth reveals. With 11 people holding to a theatre this weekend, Naroth promises a unison will be pell-mell though fun.
