Shoals

Ish Raheja

What started out as two friends collaborating to make an album eventually took on a life of its own to become "Shoals". Experimentation is at the heart of this creative process, and every whimsical idea is entertained in the pursuit of a sound that tells a story. Shoals comprises Utkarsh Varma and Sidharth Gupta - members of bands River (New Delhi) and GoodKids (Los Angeles, US) respectively. Shoals is most inspired by UK based artists Massive attack and Steven Wilson, late night food delivery services and poorly executed reality TV shows.
