INDRA IS AN INTERNATIONAL ITALIAN ALTERNATIVE-POP DUO CRAFTING CINEMATIC SOUNDSCAPES WHERE MYSTERIOUS MELODIES INTERTWINE WITH TRIBAL PULSES AND ELECTRONIC TEXTURES. BLURRING THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN DREAM AND RITUAL, THEIR MUSIC EXPLORES HUMAN FRAGILITY THROUGH A DARK, MAGICAL LENS.
FORMED BY SINGER, SONGWRITER, AND PIANO PLAYER INDRA, AND DRUMMER AND MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST ØMAR. THE DUO ALSO WORKS JOINTLY AS PRODUCERS AND SOUND ENGINEERS, SHAPING EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR ARTISTIC UNIVERSE. FROM SONGWRITING AND PRODUCTION TO SOUND DESIGN AND VISUAL STORYTELLING, THEY CREATE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES IN WHICH MUSIC BECOMES BOTH NARRATIVE AND ATMOSPHERE.
OVER THE YEARS, THEY HAVE PERFORMED AT SEVERAL RENOWNED ITALIAN VENUES, INCLUDING MAGAZZINI GENERALI, VIPER THEATRE, THE CAGE, DRUSO, BLAH BLAH, AND MANY OTHERS. STEADILY ESTABLISHING THEMSELVES AS ONE OF THE MOST DISTINCTIVE EMERGING ACTS IN THE ALTERNATIVE SCENE.
THEIR SOUND HAS ALSO REACHED INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCES. IN 2023, THEY PERFORMED AT THE TAUBERTAL OPEN AIR FESTIVAL IN GERMANY, OPENING FOR GERMAN ARTIST EDWIN ROSEN. PREVIOUSLY, IN 2022, THEY APPEARED AT THE HIT WEEK FESTIVAL IN THE UNITED STATES, SHARING THE STAGE WITH ACCLAIMED ITALIAN ARTISTS COSMO AND DIODATO AT THE MIAMI BEACH BANDSHELL. IN 2025, THEY PLAYED AT THE BATCH FESTIVAL IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC, AND IN 2026 THEY WERE SELECTED AMONG MORE THAN 1,600 PROJECTS AS SEMIFINALISTS IN THE MADCOOL TALENT IN MADRID.
RELEASED IN 2023, THEIR DEBUT CONCEPT ALBUM THE WITCH MARKED INDRA’S FIRST FULL-LENGTH RELEASE. INTRODUCED THROUGH THE SINGLE “THE WITCH”, FEATURED IN AN EPISODE OF THE CULT AMERICAN PODCAST WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE, THE PROJECT INTRODUCED LISTENERS TO THEIR HAUNTING AESTHETIC.
THE RECORD UNFOLDS AS A CINEMATIC JOURNEY THROUGH VULNERABILITY, TRANSFORMATION, AND ENCHANTMENT, COMBINING ALTERNATIVE-POP SONGWRITING WITH RITUALISTIC RHYTHMS AND ATMOSPHERIC PRODUCTION.
THE DUO HAS ALSO BEEN INVOLVED IN THE PRODUCTION OF VARIOUS MUSIC VIDEOS, TAKING CARE OF EVERY DETAIL THEMSELVES, FROM STAGE COSTUMES TO SCRIPT AND SET DESIGN. YOU CAN FIND THE VIDEOS FOR THE WITCH, KILLING MACHINE, AND ANOTHER SPELL, THEIR LATEST SINGLE, ON YOUTUBE.
DRIVEN BY A STRONG AUDIOVISUAL SENSIBILITY, INDRA EXTENDS ITS ARTISTIC LANGUAGE BEYOND MUSIC. IN 2024, THEY WROTE AND PRODUCED THE SOUNDTRACK FOR THE TEASER OF ORACLE, THE FRAGRANCE BY EXTRA VIRGO, CREATED IN COLLABORATION WITH HEAVY SOUL STUDIO. THE PROJECT PREMIERED AT PITTI FRAGRANZE IN FLORENCE AND WAS LATER BROADCAST ON FASHION TV.
EAGERLY AWAITING THE FINAL MOMENTS BEFORE PRESENTING THE NEW CHAPTER THAT THE TWO ARTISTS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON OVER THE PAST PERIOD, A NEW COLLECTION OF SONGS HAS TAKEN SHAPE. EMERGING FROM THE FUSION OF TWO DISTINCT MUSICAL VISIONS, IT REVEALS A SOUND THAT IS MORE MODERN, STRIPPED-BACK, AND IMMEDIATE. MINIMALIST IN ITS APPROACH YET EMOTIONALLY EXPANSIVE, THIS NEW BODY OF WORK PRESERVES THE MYSTERIOUS, DREAMLIKE, AND CINEMATIC ESSENCE THAT HAS ALWAYS DEFINED THE PROJECT. IT IS AN EVOLUTION RATHER THAN A REINVENTION: A DEEPER EXPLORATION OF INDRA’S WORLD, WHERE ANCIENT ECHOES MEET CONTEMPORARY TEXTURES, SOON TO BE UNVEILED TO THE PUBLIC.
