Anvaya’s “Churaya” spent two years as an unfinished sketch before a flight to Dubai forced his hand — Kaushal welded it to a separate groove somewhere over the Atlantic, sent it to Sonia and Indo Warehouse co-founder Kahani, and the pair finished the record overnight. Sweeping stabs, tribal percussion, a groove that sits in tension without ever dropping and Sonia singing original Hindi poetry over the top of it.
