KRIPA KRISHNAN
Mithoon
When Shantanu Pandit released his debut album Milk Teeth in August 2021 , almost every review or commentary on it emphasized vulnerability . The album is an adult ’ s pondering upon an irrecoverable childhood , now recalled and remastered through grown-up grudges and hard-earned epiphanies .
Like most artists worth remembering , Pandit exudes a quiet , instinctual honesty . The songs of Milk Teeth trigger despair , wonder and belonging , possibly because they come from Pandit ’ s truest memories , both cherished and reviled . They make you remember your best days , and mourn the fact that you ’ ve grown beyond them too far and too fast .
Released to rave reviews , Milk Teeth undoubtedly set Pandit apart as someone to keep ears out for . A year after the album ’ s release , Pandit set out on a 4000 + km road journey covering 9 concerts and 8 cities - in a caravan .
The Score Magazine caught up with Shantanu Pandit post-tour to ask about the album , what it still means to him , and whether he ’ s like to live inside a volcano .
