There is already a lively conversation going on between Nush Lewis and Veer Kowli aka Chrms when we arrive at a relaxed Bandra eatery off Carter Road to interview the two musicians. They are reminiscing about the time they had first met, around three years ago, at Kowli's debut gig as an electronic music producer. He was only 15 back then. Lewis is 13 years his senior. But the age gap seems to have nothing to do with their camaraderie as they continue their reminiscence once we take a seat after exchanging greetings.

The reason we have got the duo face to face is that both of them are ready with new EPs. Lewis — a harpist, vocalist and pianist — will launch Bridges at a gig in Mahalaxmi tomorrow evening. It's the sort of introspective album that can serve as a soundtrack for a blissful dream you're having. The vocals have a caressing quality. The keys have a hypnotic lilt. And the harp — the musician's primary instrument — makes guest appearances where it lulls listeners back to their dreamlike state in case they are close to waking.
