Treble Puns

"Life is a series of terrible puns. We set them to music." Treble Puns is a masked duo from Bangalore. Ambient by nature, anonymous by choice. Guitar and drums sit at the centre, with synths, samples and the occasional voice around them. The music is complex and restless: post-rock that drifts into progressive structures, electronica and Indian classical phrasing, always finding its way back to a melody. The songs look at the things most of us are too polite to say out loud: the pressure to be happy, the performance of being seen, the quiet absurdity of an ordinary day. To say these things, you need a mask. The masks take our faces out of the picture. What remains is the music, and the room it is played in, and a few irreverent words. Our debut EP, Sounds Like Treble, received four stars from Rolling Stone India. Our latest record, Life Lessens 1, is a concept album, made to be heard in order.
