Daira is an Indian Hindi art-rock band based in Mumbai. [1] The current lineup features Piyush Kapoor ( vocals and trumpet), Shivam Pant ( guitar), Pratyay Mishra ( guitar), Aditya Ahir ( bass guitar), and Aditya Ranga ( drums and percussions). Formed in 2014, the band incorporates elements from psychedelic rock, alternative rock, progressive rock and Indian classical music in their compositions. Their lyrics explore themes of freedom, love, and existential contemplation. [2]
Daira was established at the end of 2014, [3] when Lucknow-born vocalist Piyush Kapoor, previously a member of Kerala band Thaikkudam Bridge [4]decided to focus on creating original music. Together with Vikalp Sharma ( Guitarist) and Savi Shrivastava ( Band Manager), Kapoor formed a new band. They were soon joined by Chaitanya Bhaidkar ( guitar), Govind Gawli ( bass), Pratik Kulgod ( drums), and Johan John Thekkan ( keys). Each member contributed their influences to the band's sound. [3] Johan left the band shortly after its formation.
Months after its formation, Daira completed their first full-length album. The self-titled debut album Daira was released on September 24, 2015. [5] The album reflects the diverse personalities and influences of each band member. [3] It was produced, mixed and mastered by Vishal J. Singh, the founder of the avant-garde band Amogh Symphony. [3] The album was debuted at a concert in Mumbai. This release was well-received, with songs like "Har Subah" gaining particular recognition. [5]
Track List
The concept for Daira's second album, Vipreet Buddhi, originated when producer- composer Vishal J. Singh observed Daira's live performances and their improvisational style. [7] Leading him to suggest recording their jam sessions. The band members, including guitarist Vikalp Sharma, vocalist Piyush Kapoor, guitarist Shivam Pant, drummer Pratik Kulgod, and bassist Aswin Lal, spent extensive hours at Benchmark Studios' jam room in Thane, recording over 80 minutes of new music. [7] Their stay in the hill station town of Manali further inspired their creativity, where they performed nine shows in 25 days, engaging extended jam sessions on stage.
Some of these spontaneous creations by Piyush Kapoor we incorporated the album. [7] Vishal J. Singh acted as a conductor for the structured improvisation of the album's first eight tracks, while the remaining eight tracks evolved through a more free-form jam between the members. The album was mixed by Vikalp Sharma. [7] The title Vipreet Buddhi is derived from the Sanskrit phrase from Chanakya Niti, "Vinaash Kaale Viprit Buddhi" meaning "Adversity kills intelligence or misfortune spoils the mind". [8]
"This thematic influence is reflected in the album's sardonic and dark tone, exploring what the band terms as wrong intelligence", states Rolling Stone India's Anurag Tagat. [7]
Track List
Daira released their third full-length studio album, Itni Jurrat? in September 2018. The album which blends art rock, psychedelia, metal, and blues, comprises nine songs with a total duration of 58 minutes.

Daira released their single "Habus Rah" on July 3, 2020. This experimental track was developed by reverse engineering an existing song from their debut album, Har Subah.
