about

Epiphanies are always good and it seems like that’s what was behind the shift in sound on the new Black Letters EP Petrichor. The follow-up to their debut 2014 album Shapes on the Wall leans on softer, delay-laden guitars, slow beats and plenty of layers.

Petrichor was inspired by a getaway to the resort town of Wayanad in Kerala last year, frontman Sharath Narayan tells us. He says of the four-track EP, “We’ve kept it straightforward. It’s very soothing, light and has certain dream-pop elements.” Produced by Vivek Thomas, Petrichor was originally slated for release in May, but the band – also comprising drummer Akash Chacko, guitarist Sarang Menon and bassist Arjun Radhakrishnan – have been spending time tweaking every detail.

The first taste of the EP arrived in August, with the music video for “Phila” straight off exuding synth brightness over a steady beat. The rest of Petrichor offers more shades of Black Letters’ guitar-led rock that’s not at all as loud as Shapes on the Wall, but very much a perfect companion for star-gazing your night away.

"The Bengaluru/Kochi alt rock band’s new offering is rich with delay guitars and laid-back beats." - Rolling Stone

"Petrichor is a fresh, pleasant yet mysterious release that Black Letters hope sends some nostalgia to the listener." - Times of India

Lyrics:

House me in
House me in
House me in the fading light

House me in the fading light
Who's holding me tonight?
Slip me in your pocket
And I don't need to hide
Have me in your pocket
Then I don't need to hide, tonight
In your pocket
In your pocket

Phila
Come to save me tonight

Phila
Come to save me tonight

Lock me in your safe impound
I will be here tonight, tonight
Keep me in your pocket
Then I don't need to hide
In your pocket
In your pocket

Phila
Come to save me tonight

Phila
Come to save me tonight
