Komorebi: “Rebirth”

By: Jack Anderson

New Delhi-based singer, pianist, composer and choir practitioner Taran Marwah has been rapidly ascending past her local scene over the past half decade. Adopting the Japanese term for “sunlight filtering through leaves”, Komorebi, as her musical moniker, Marwah’s been creating a seductive blend of electronic and traditional Indian instrumentation, resulting in tinges of trip hop that recall the likes of Portishead, Björk, and Massive Attack. Komorebi’s scored for major streaming networks, held down her fair share of festivals, and accrued plenty of acclaim, and yet Marwah’s still climbing.

Keep on the lookout for two new bi-lingual records from Komorebi within the next year and wash off the first half of this work week with her latest single and music video “Rebirth”!

Maddy Kirgo: “Spare”

MIEN: “Evil People” (Live In Studio 1A)

We all know that when an artist is featured on a song, it’s likely that they recorded it remote and sent the track to the main artist. But how does it work when you’re a quartet and only 2 of y’all live in the same place? To ask the members of Austin experimental psych band […]

Slept All Day: “Asteria”

Austin duo Slept All Day may be new on the scene, but don’t sleep on them. Together, the two create moving soundscapes a la Bonobo and Washed Out.
