Green Park on Making Their Wildly Indie Album 'Newly Aged'

IT'S THE END OF NEW DELHI ACT GREEN PARK'S tour promoting their debut album Newly Aged, and they've just played a "homecoming" gig at The Piano Man in Gurugram on May 25th. Drummer and multi-instrumentalist Rishabh Bhan

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.

DANCE-FLOOR BLISS AND THE SEARCH FOR (POST-) HUMAN CONNECTION

Over the course of roughly a decade, CARIBOU, the electronic-leaning project from Canadian musician and composer Dan Snaith, has released intricate, sonically inventive records that cradle rhythm and history. On \"Home,\" from 2020's Suddenly, he coos softly alongside a frenetic flip of Gloria Barnes' 1971 single of the same name. There, the subtle cracks and gestures in his voice manage to breathe life into the digitally-manipulated sample. Caribou's music has so far thrived on this quality — Snaith's seemingly boundless musical curiosity and his ability to crystalize big ideas into euphoric moments of dance-floor bliss. It's why his choice to use artificial intelligence on his vocals for his latest album, Honey, feels like a misstep. Here, Snaith's voice is transformed in character and identity, at times creating revelatory moments, like on \"Come Find Me,\" where he's reimagined as a treacly-toned young woman, though in small enough doses for it to work. Elsewhere, like on the rap-adjacent \"Campfire,\" where Snaith renders himself as the sort of rapper you might hear on a Caribou track (think Definitive Jux vibes), the concept breaks down.
