Where was all of this shot, Sanjay," questioned American filmmaker Wes Anderson on social media, after having viewed a video shared on Facebook. The question, preceded by heartfelt praise concerned Kolkata-based music duo, Nischay Parekh and Jivraj Singh's video, 'I Love You Baby, I Love You Doll'.
"It's amazing that he has watched the video and might like our music," confessed an elated Parekh over email. The single, which, is the first from Parekh &amp; Singh's upcoming album, Oceans, draws obvious inspiration from the dream-like, colourful styling that's synonymous with Anderson's style of filmmaking. Sporting old-style suits the duo is seen singing a ditty that seems deliciously old worldly.

The idea was spurred by Parekh's desire to add a narrative to the song. "It was a case of wanting to showcase dual situations, with both Jivraj and I doing different things and pursuing different goals, at the hotel. It was pretty spontaneous and organic," says the singer-songwriter, who shared the idea with Mumbai-based visual artist Ayesha Kapadia of Komet Juice.
"Both, Nischay and I, belong to similar planets when it comes to imagination. So, I knew where he was coming from. However, something was missing, so we put our heads together and had fun with it. It's basically the music that inspired the art," says Kapadia, who has been making art for Parekh's music for long.

If Anderson needs to know, the quirky video was shot in an old Rajbari (palace-home) about three hours away from Kolkata. The mustard suits, which the Moonrise Kingdom director confessed to like, were tailored at Barkat Ali &amp; Bros, a tailoring shop in old Calcutta, and the gorgeous guitar that Parekh plays is a Godin Nylon String Multiac.
Directed by Misha Ghose, the video features the musicians strumming guitars and penning notes in scenic grounds. "For a music video to be successful, a good script is not essential, a good idea is. Nischay and I worked to figure how the concept could be used appropriately along with the song. The important thing was to marry the visuals with the music in a manner that wouldconvey the feeling and mood that we wanted to achieve," says Ghose, who attributes the common love for Anderson to his attention for detail.
"Our admiration for him helped give this video a style, I guess." Parekh adds, "We like the symmetry and the weird humour &mdash; the things that everyone loves about his work." Oceans, which opened in 2013, is being re-released after the musician-duo signed up with UK label, Peacefrog Records, who thought their first album deserved a repackaging. They are now working on a video for their song Newbury Street which will be out in November.
