Science City

On their long-awaited second album, Science City, Kolkata duo Parekh & Singh experience a coming of age, leading to a sugary and playful pop record with a palette of different moods. On the spacey "Summer Skin”, Parekh experiences an epiphany when he sings, "Time's a waste of life.” Their songs are both melancholic ("One Hundred Shadows") and reflective (“Surgeon”), and they offer plenty of meditations on relationships (“Hello” and "Be Something").
