Tu kisi rail si guzarti is more Euphoria than Indian Ocean, but the charm remains intact, building a steady and lilting folk’ish tune on the back of Nikhil Rao’s guitaring. Varun Grover’s lyrics, adapted from Dushyant Kumar’s poem, is charming! Mann kasturi is decidely more Indian Ocean, again sipping into Nikhil’s fantastic guitars to build the slow-burner melody. Bhor too is typically Indian Ocean, but with a more comtemplative sound, and Amit Kilam, Rahul Ram and Himanshu Joshi crooning Sanjeev Sharma’s lyrics. Masaan is a short, thematic soundtrack from Indian Ocean who stick to their core sound, sometimes uncomfortably so.
