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.

ANDRÉ 3000 'I'D RATHER GO AMATEUR INTERESTING THAN MASTER BORING
West Los Angeles' Gjusta Bakery is bustling on a sunny Friday afternoon. Sevenfoot-high stacks of flour bags lay near the entrance, soon to be turned into pastries. The main room is full of locals seeking an early-afternoon pick-me-up, but the backyard is quieter, with rustic tables and large plants under a makeshift roof made of golden tarp. André 3000 walks in unassumingly, dapping me and joking that our shared first name is a great one. I agree as we sit and get acquainted over matcha lattes. Dressed in a camouflage jacket, pants in a different camo pattern, and his trademark red beanie, André mentions that he's been under the weather after traveling home from Japan, where he and his bandmates recently played six improvised instrumental shows at Blue Note Tokyo.
