LOOKING BACK AT the release of his highly successful full-length debut album Make It Happen in 2017, Mumbai-based singer-songwriter Tejas tells us he’s “extremely grateful.” Since then, the musician explains that he’s entered a very personal space and that now it’s all about growth for him. Tejas – who turned 30 in 2019 –recalls his Twenties and says, “What was good? What was bad? What do I double down on? And what are the things that I’ve to take away from that period, and I’ve tried to kind of grow from that.”
That development has led to the musician putting together his most personal batch of songs out in the shape of his just-released seven-track sophomore LP Outlast.
Although Tejas began performing tracks off the record at gigs over the last few years, according to him, Outlast only began to take shape at the beginning of 2020. With his production chops enhanced since Make It Happen, the singer-songwriter began putting down ideas for songs himself instead of working it out with his bandmates – bassist Adil Kurwa (from pop-rock band The Colour Compound, rock group The Koniac Net and instrumental prog metal band Letterz) and drummer Jehangir Jehangir (of ska outfit The Fanculos) – in a jam room. He says, “We worked on it as a band. We all sat in front of a computer instead of sitting in front of each other with instruments.” The musician adds, “I know that doesn’t make the greatest jam room story, but in a digital age like this it’s probably as grateful as I can be, which is all three of us were in one room together in front of a studio computer.”
