Sulk Station

Sulk Station is an electronic/trip-hop duo from Bangalore formed by Tanvi Rao and Rahul Giri in 2009. Their music is driven by Tanvi Rao’s sultry vocals wrapped in a haze of atmospherics, minimal beats and homegrown synth sounds. Their songs are a mix of contemporary electronic music genres (trip-hop/post-dubstep/ambient) with traces of Indian classical music. Their debut album “Till you Appear” (self-released in early 2012) managed to accumulate praise from listeners, bloggers, critics and musicians alike.
