When you listen to Pieces by Mumbai band Nothing Anonymous, you are transported to a fancy rooftop party in Los Angeles, drinking champagne, and taking in the view. Their dreamy vibe, accentuated by heavy synths, groovy beats, insightful lyrics and melodic vocals, both surprised and impressed us. The band, which is made up of 22-year-old Ambika Nayak and 28-year-old Nirmit Shah, both born and brought up in Mumbai, is barely a year old, but has been making the right kind of sounds.

Both former students of Lower Parel's True School of Music, met when Shah played keys for Nayak's other band, Kimochi Youkai. "Nirmit was writing a few tracks, and I worked on one with him. Around this time, I was asked to do an acoustic gig, and the person I was doing it with backed out, so I asked Nirmit. We had one week to prepare, but we did it," recalls Nayak.
