About Phosphenes

Kathmandu serves as the creative home for Phosphenes, a trio making waves in the Nepali Indie Pop scene. By blending traditional instruments with modern pop sensibilities, they have crafted a signature sound that feels fresh and relatable. Their songwriting focuses on honest themes like self-discovery, heartbreak, and the ups and downs of love, connecting deeply with listeners both in Nepal and abroad. The band gained significant attention with their 2021 album *Sullen Days*, a collection of ten songs that explore the complexities of human emotion through a mix of folk, indie, and alternative styles. They are best known for catchy hits like "Yestai Nai Hola," "Eklai Huda Ta Jhan," and "Oh Love." Beyond their solo work, the group has successfully teamed up with other artists, most notably on the dreamy track "Girls Trip" featuring Chandeen, and their evocative anthem for the capital city, "Kathmandu." Whether through upbeat, melody-driven songs like "I Got Flowers" or atmospheric pieces like "Night," Phosphenes continues to prove they are one of Nepal's most exciting musical acts.
