MUMBAI: Universal Music India will release Indian rock band Indus Creed’s long due studio album ‘Evolve’, their first release after 1995.
‘Evolve’ recorded in Mumbai was mixed in Austin, Texas by Grammy-nominated mixing engineer Tim Palmer and was mastered in New York City by veteran mastering engineer Andy VanDette.
The band is set to release an album after a hiatus of 15 year, and this news was first reported by Radioandmusic.com. Indus Creed front man Uday Benegal stated, “It was a great experience to comeback with a self produced album and we are expecting to break some new found boundaries with our high energy rock.”
Universal Music India & SAARC MD Devraj Sanyal said, "Indus Creed are the flag bearers of `original’ rock music in India and they define what good rock music needs to be - lyrically, musically and vocally. `Evolve’ is an album that ranks far above any of their earlier stuff and new songs like ‘Fireflies’, ‘The Money’ and ‘Take It Harder’ are destined to go beyond our shores very soon simply because it’s the best music I've heard in a long time."
Speaking about the tie-up Benegal said, “We’re thrilled to be putting out an album together after all these years, and with the collaborations of such phenomenal talent like Tim Palmer and Andy VanDette. We are also very happy to be releasing it through Universal Music, who really seem to get our music. We couldn’t have asked for better partners all around.”
Indus Creed consists of Uday Benegal (vocal, guitars), Mahesh Tinaikar (guitars), Zubin Balaporia (keyboards), Rushad Mistry (bass), Jai Row Kavi (drums). The award-winning band has numerous historic achievements, one of the highlights being their jam with GN’R guitar player Slash at the launch of MTV India. They are also the first Indian act for whom MTV produced a `Rockumentary’.
The album is slated to release in physical and digital formats later this month.
