-  ANURAG TAGAT

Mumbai-based singer-songwriter Tejas’ new EP Museum takes a time-warping dive into fantastical stories inspired by works like Hamlet and The Lion King while also reflecting on life after the passing of his father. Hear the EP exclusively a day ahead of its release below.

Tejas, who has been releasing singles like “Some Kind of Nothing” since his 2021 album Outlast and also sang for The Archies film with songs like “Sunoh,” introduces a new sonic direction on the four-track Museum EP, which starts with “Exspiravit In Machina” that includes a voice sample of his father, who passed away in 2021. Sarangi artist Vanraj Shastri shines as Tejas introduces more classical elements, including a smattering of Hindustani vocals on the title track and the bulbul tarang as well.
