Singh says, “We also have a winter tour in the pipeline, and hopefully some festivals along the way. For now, all we can think about is going home to our cats, Papita and Keenu, and playing music together in a room.”

Green Park came together in December 2021 after meeting at a house party, with vocalist, songwriter, guitarist Arpan Kumar and bassist Sidharth Gupta rounding out the lineup. The 11-track Newly Aged is a trippy, pastiche-like indie experimental album, one that follows their 2022 EP All My Pictures Have Grown Smiles. Influenced by the likes of the Beatles and The Beach Boys, the band says in a joint response to an email interview that they’ve also carried forward their musical idols’ penchant for collaboration on Newly Aged.
