Parekh & Singh are a pop duo from Kolkata, India. Nischay Parekh sings, plays guitar, and keyboards; Jivraj Singh plays drums, percussion and electronics; and both enjoy computation of various kinds. While Nischay has one foot in this world and the other in the realm of dreams, Jivraj is a student of math and logic and drawn to life’s darker recesses. Friends, enemies, neighbours and brothers – they wrestle, play chess and table tennis, eat, think, and roam the streets. But, above all, they make music of whimsical, magical beauty. ‘Ocean’ was their debut album – glowing tracks of cosmic pop that shimmered like a tropical sunset. While many influences – from Woody Allen to dusty Americana – could be detected across the album’s nine tracks, Ocean was widely considered to have been a fresh new sound in Indian music. If their debut conjured a lush landscape populated by magical creatures, the follow up ‘Science City’ saw our sharp-suited star-gazers materializing in another dimension – a retro-future world of doctors and scientists, quantum mechanics and aerodynamics. Parekh’s divine vocals were once again backed by vintage synths and Singh’s expertly effervescent percussion. Parekh & Singh’s easy way with each other, and the dreamy languor that pervades their music, belies the dedication of two talented musicians, both immersed in music from an early age. The artists are signed to Peacefrog Records, and are managed by Big Bad Wolf Entertainment.
