Well put, this writer would say. The title track is the pick of the album with its lingering nostalgia and a touch of melancholy. This theme runs through the album with the wonderful Kahaani, written by Ankur Tewari, replicating the emotion through a mellow acoustic guitar and banjo accompaniment. The album also has some surprises. The happy synth tunes of Maybe I can fly are a departure from the tenderness of Remember and Ocean tide. It leaves you with a feeling of something more to come from the band.

When Chai Met Toast tried to invent itself with the album, Jaigopal reveals. “The album features electric guitars, synths and a pop flourish while retaining some of our previous folk-indebted sound. The aspiration to continue to try new things is something we aim for with every release.”

After Mumbai, the band will also stage gigs in Bengaluru, Kolkata, Guwahati and Indore. The guitarist reflects the band’s excitement. “We were also playing the songs from the new album live for the very first time, and it felt great to have everyone sing back even the new songs word for word. It’s been over two years since a public show in Mumbai, and we couldn’t be more excited.”
