Peter Cat Recording Co performs at a gig; (right) the current members of the band

We had once been on a psychedelic journey of the mind without the use of any substance known to orchestrate such an experience. The vehicle for our trip had been a song called Love Demons by Peter Cat Recording Co (PCRC), a Delhi-based outfit. The video for it begins with a Bedouin traversing a desert with his camel, under a sky that has had a surrealistic makeover. Then, as the lilting, almost hypnotic vocals lull the listener’s senses into a state of reverie, this nomad suddenly falls into a whirlpool, with the screen blacking out immediately after.
