Bio
Dischordian is an acoustic project started by Garreth D’Mello in 2009. Originally conceived as a solo project, Dischordian slowly expanded to a four-piece band with multi-instrumentalists Agnelo Picardo, Howard Pereira, and Nigel Rajaratnam on guitar, saxophone, trumpet, lap steel, melodica, mandolin, and percussion. Their sometimes dreamy, sometimes chaotic sound has found wide appreciation among a varied group of fans, primarily on the basis of their gigs and a bunch of early, low-fi demos....
Press
“…a stunning debut album… showcases Garreth’s skills as a songwriter as he crafts minimalistic melancholy songs and sinister ballads with accomplished ease. This isn’t cheerful guitar-pop, this is an album of simple and achingly beautiful songs about love, hate, and death that remind you of sleepless, lonely nights spent in the warm embrace of mild despair that sneaks up on you in the early hours of the morning… a well composed and intimate album by experienced and talented musicians at the top of their game. ...one of the best albums you will hear this year.”

Just saw a very interesting discussion with Ashis Nandy on DD Loksabha of all places. Beats all the hysterical crap on every "news channel".
