For a band that existed in a different avatar earlier and crystallised as a well-knit five-piece outfit only last year, Alder Eye have gone through the process of launching their debut EP at lightning quick speed. But there's a clear reason for that. Karan Ghosh and Kamran Raza — the duo that founded the earlier outfit, Syntax Error, in 2010 — already had a bunch of fresh original compositions that needed shape.

These songs were further sculpted when guitarist Shardul Donde and Aryaman Chatterji came on board. And the finishing touches in terms of writing the lyrics and building a narrative were added once the quartet picked vocalist David Tauro, who eventually needed just a single day in the studio to record all the four tracks in Timeframe, the EP that the band will launch this weekend.
