The creation of ‘No Visa Needed’ was as seamless as the journey leading up to it was challenging. Although the path leading up to our first ever international tour was met with multiple roadblocks and hurdles, as is the case with all good things it lead us serendipitously to ace pianist Taku Yabuki ensuing in the journey that helped us understand each other through our music, the universal language that helped us connect with someone halfway across the world. That’s the beautiful mystery of music that inspired us to create ‘No Visa Needed’.

We are happy to share ‘Restless’ in collaboration with Harini Iyer on vocals and Praveen Sparsh on mridangam. ‘Restless’ is a song about self-discovery, introspection and growth that brings in the vocal prowess of Harini Iyer and the hypnotic mridangam expertise of Praveen Sparsh to take the listener on a journey. With this release, we aim to further our goal of collaborating with artists from around the world to create a sonic texture that is always evolving. The narrative of 'Restless' follows a blob-like being, created from different elements of the earth, as they journey through empty barren lands trying to find the meaning of their existence. Eventually, through their journey, exploration and soul searching, they begin to create newer forms of life and nature. They believe their purpose on this planet is to simply create and once this realization dawns upon them, they begin to fill the empty land with newer forms of mountains, waterfalls and forests. Thus, creating their own planet, from which a new blob-like being is formed and the cycle repeats: ~ Creation of the Being ~ Questioning oneʼs existence ~ Travelling/Growing/Exploring ~ Purpose and Self Discovery Composed, Arranged and Produced by Jatayu: Shylu Ravindran - Acoustic/Electric/Classical Guitar Sahib Singh - Electric Guitar/SFX Kashyap Jaishankar - Bass Guitar/SFX Manu Krishnan - Drums Featuring Artists: Harini Iyer - Vocals/Melody/Lyrics Praveen Sparsh - Mridangam Mix and Master : Ishit Kuberkar at Soundpotion Studios Artwork/Video Directed & Animated by : Pooja Sreenivasan (https://www.instagram.com/slippingandfalling/) Follow the Official Jatayu Accounts : Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/therealjatayu/​ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/therealjatayu/ Website - https://www.jatayumusic.com/

With everything going crazy in the world today, we wanted to use 'Salad Days' as a means to escape to our childhood - a time when we had no worries, and the world seemed to be a better place. Working on this song took us back to the hours we spent as kids playing 8bit video games, slapping consoles and blowing intro cartridges to make them work.

We are happy to share our latest single 'Thoppai Vibes' with you! Being stuck in our houses through the pandemic, we couldn’t help but reminisce about the good times we faced as a band, touring, performing and travelling across India just the previous year. From the excitement of releasing a new EP, to the rush of live shows in different cities, to feeling content after a great gig, 'Thoppai Vibes' captures our headspace at that time and hopes to remind you that no matter what situation you're in, the vibe is yours to make. We were lucky enough to have our good friend Akshay Ganesh add the finishing touches to the song.
