Phosphenes’ new EP ‘Simit Yaad’ is mellow and dreamy

The band, known for their soft music and eccentric videos, released their first Nepali language album in August.

Independent music started as resistance. Back in the late 1970s, in countries like the US and the UK, record labels dominated every aspect of the music scene, from producing and mixing to creative rights. The artist, in that sense, was simply the face of the music—who lent their voices to something that was already manufactured.
