They are grey, old warhorses of the Indian rock scene. When they emerged in the 1990s, Sachin Tendulkar was the man of the moment. Now, Virat Kohli is passing on the mantle to Yashaswi Jaiswal. Yet, Parikrama has set their sights on an evolution to the next phase. Their latest single, Translucent night, which released last week, marks the first of three releases to come this year.

“We are hunting in packs of three,” jokes Subir Malik, founder and organist of the Delhi-based band. The single is their first release since the 2019 track, Tears of the wizard — the last track to feature the late Sonam Sherpa.
