about

Aranyer Dinratri (Disco Puppet’s third full-length album) gets its name from the 1970 film by Satyajit Ray. Shoumik first saw the film in 2016, after which they began to take an active interest in Ray’s works. These movies became a window into their personal history and art.

Shoumik began to understand their attraction to seemingly insignificant details of daily life, the way people interact and the longing for human contact. Although their work has always explored these themes, in this album, they become Shoumik's main point of focus.

Aranyer Dinratri runs 40 minutes and is presented in a stream of consciousness format. The tracks flow into one another, weaving a narrative of search, discovery and acceptance. Like most of their previous work, the album remains sonically adventurous, contrasting assiduously crafted moments of tenderness with outright abrasion. There are playful moments too, courtesy Shoumik’s battered Casio SA47. The toy keyboard is accompanied by samples, tape machine artefacts and saturated 808s - building on Shoumik’s familiar yet ever evolving sound palette.
