According to Basrur, the songs on the upcoming album are a mix of personal journeys and collective experiences over the past few years. “The tracks in the album are all about perception. Every song has more than one meaning,” said Basrur on the album. Last Remaining Light also recorded an acoustic version of their track ‘Conclusions’ for BalconyTV.
When asked whether he wrote all the songs himself, Basrur said, “While all the songs have been conceptualised by me, there are a few tracks which the band has written collectively.”
The four-piece band features Basrur and Anurag Shanker sharing vocal and guitar duties with The Koniac Net’s Adil Kurwa on bass and Karun Kannampilly on drums. The ten-track album has been recorded and mixed by Tejas Narayan at Arbit Random Studio, Mumbai, and is being mixed at Nagasaki Sound, Las Vegas.
In addition to Last Remaining Light, Basrur also lends vocals for television commercials. In recent times he has sung commercials for Domino’s Pizza, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Hyundai i20 Active, Swift Dzire and most recently for the promotional track for Tata AIA. “The Tata AIA track was composed by Clinton Cerejo, and instead of being a short composition, there is full four minutes long track which has been recorded and released,” he added.
