Postponing the launch of his ensemble, Inalab's debut EP due to Parikrama bandmate Sonam Sherpa's demise, bassist Gaurav Balani is bringing five songs about turmoil and chaos in the world, to help us get through tough times. And though these were written and composed before the virus outbreak, they do deal with the repercussions of the rampant anti-CAA protests, and animal cruelty.

The EP, which features Shruti Dhasmana (vocals), Archit Anand (keys), Shashank Singhania (flute) and Suyash Gabriel (drums), apart from Balani, is all about the aam aadmi. "The message of the music is that despite all the darkness and negativity that we are engulfed in, we need to find that inner peace and channelise the positivity to overcome obstacles. It's important to remember that nothing is permanent. So, we need to uplift those around us and help everyone and ourselves get out of it," Balani says.
