MaximumTodd This demo is eery, calming, fun, and fantastical in every was that makes indie dungeon synth worth listening to. Everyone should aspire to this level of quality and songwriting for their demos. Truly a wonderful work. Looking forward to seeing more. Favorite track: आरा ऊना दा क्वाटर लाणा.

zeppinator Souunds like something out of an old toybox and vibe. As others have said it does fit the comfy synth description but also has an eerie feeling to it in some parts. Favorite track: आरा ऊना दा क्वाटर लाणा.

Gabriel Tamas This short demo might be labeled as comfy synth but its lo-fi nature and dissonant melodie, at least on a few momentes, give it an eerie touch, sometimes resembling the compositions of Akira Yamaoka on Silent Hill. Regardless, it can (and does) still deliver whimsical, calm tunes as well. For such a short demo, the start is a promising one. Once it finds it footing and sound, this project will surely be among the revered ones. Favorite track: दारू पीणी, के रम?.

...

पियाक्णु / Piyakdu ("drunkard").
Comfy soundscapes from the winter-lands of Shimla.

"DEMO I" from the project "पियाक्णु / Piyakdu" introduces our drunken protagonist "Naeku" and follows his introspective musings on Life, the Universe and Everything as he warms his belly with some delicious "Una Number 1" (a local drink - very strong!). He sits by a warm fire in the enchanted forest of Mountain Home and thinks hard - his favourite past-time!

"DEMO I" offers three out of a larger number of songs recorded in one go on a rather tipsy night in the boreal December of 2021 by Baba Mithrandir.

...

Song titles:
1. दारू पीणी, के रम? / Shall I Have Whiskey, or Rum?
2. आरा ऊना दा क्वाटर लाणा / Someone Get Me a Quarter of Una
3. होऐ बाबा शन्न / Tipsy, Finally

Cover art: Christ Church, Shimla (unknown photographer c. 1885)
