Album Focus: Maru Tarang

Answered by: Bobby Singh

Album title? Blue City

Where did the title of your new album come from? We recorded in the beautiful city of Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, and a lot of the houses in the old part are painted blue so the city is known as The Blue City.

How many releases do you have now? This is our first release.

How long did it take to write/record? We recorded it in one day except for one track we recorded in Spain a year later! The music is mostly improvised so our writing happens as we play.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? Being in India, travelling through the country and meeting wonderful musicians and playing with them was very inspiring.

What’s your favourite song on it? There isn’t one favourite as all of them have different feelings for different times.

Will you do anything differently next time? Probably not!

When and where is your launch/next gig? 13 Mar, Camelot Lounge.
