Album info:
Minaxi’s new body of work, The Reverberating Sound of an Absent Metropolis delves into the ruins of a civilization haunted by the ghosts of its past, a society once vibrant and alive, now reduced to a somber reflection of its former self. In this desolate landscape marred by war, greed, distrust, tension and loneliness, the album digs into the human psyche, exploring the fundamental question: Can one still nurture hope and love in their hearts amidst such overwhelming despair?
The album intricately weaves a narrative that simultaneously showcases the dark side of humanity and the enduring resilience of the human spirit. It suggests that while humans are responsible for the collapse of society and their habitat throughout history, the empty spaces in these ruins create fertile ground for a glimmer of light; that human experience is cyclical and what has happened before will recur until a different choice is made; that solace can be found in love; and that death, while the ultimate truth of life, does not erase one’s existence. Instead, people live on through memories, dreams, and shared connections even after they have passed.
Bio:
Minaxi is an alternative band from Brooklyn with deep roots in the streets and chaos of Nallasopara, a bustling town on the outskirts of Mumbai. Formed in 2018 with a vision to create and perform music that seamlessly blends elements of rock, pop, classical, and Sufi music from the Indian subcontinent with the guitar-driven angst, beauty, and otherworldliness reminiscent of 90s alternative, shoegazing, ambient music, and their respective sub-genres, Minaxi is actively creating a unique and unprecedented sonic palette of diverse sounds and cultures.
