Album lore

Hope, issued in April 2021 on Ketan Mohite’s own imprint, distills a sparse yet intimate blend of Indian indie and devotional music across two tracks. The featured “Dreamcatcher” enlists a cadre of collaborators: Ghatam Giridhar Udupa’s distinctive percussion, alongside Mahesh Raghvan and Premik Jolly, whose contributions weave through the recording with subtlety. The other piece, “Space Trip,” brings in Yadhunandan Nagaraj and Rajeev Prasanna, further rooting the album in a collaborative ethos.Mohite’s approach is that of a singer-songwriter, his voice and compositional sensibility at the core, supported by deft instrumental textures. With under 2,500 scrobbles on Last.fm, Hope remains a quiet artifact in the lineage of contemporary Indian devotional-inflected indie, offering a measured, contemplative signal for those seeking nuance beyond the mainstream.
