Lavi and Foenix debut EP ‘No Phones at the Dinner Table’ via Export Quality Records, is project is inspired 5-track EP with which the very talented duo are making their mark in the indie scene. The EP delivers a delightful cohesive and nostalgic sound with modern-day production techniques. This marriage of older sounds with modern tools makes for a very groovy EP that finds itself at home on the dancefloor. Lavi’s clever writing is the voice of a generation that was raised by the internet and she speaks on how that affects us through an introspective lens.

Based out of Bangalore, LAVI started out her journey as a singer-songwriter.  Her fascination with different genres led her to collaborate with Foenix with who she released her debut single 'Spiral'.

Former member of alt-pop duo Foenix + The Minz, Rohit Mukherjee is a musician based out of Bangalore. Since releasing his first single in 2018, he has grown his niche while gaining several acclamations from media outlets and editorial playlists alike.

Lavi and Foenix aim to bring nostalgic pop sounds to the Indian music scene. After already gaining recognition from pages like 'homegrownin' and artists like Ankur Tewari, they are set to release their upcoming EP, through Mumbai Based Label "Export Quality"

After performing around Bangalore and Mumbai, in venues like Bonobo and Veranda- they aim to carve out their unique sound and want to bring a fresh experience through live performances.

"The inspiration for the EP dates back to when I watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and since then was determined to release a project that sonically had sounds of 70's Hollywood, fun and retro, and was more of a cinematic experience. When Lavi and I joined forces, we wanted the EP to be something people could relate to, while also being a topic close to us. It's surreal how our vision came out” says Foenix while adding “As for production, I derived heavy inspiration from vintage sounds of pop and funk. I wanted to have a cohesiveness to the whole project to the point where I put in the research to delve into the mixing process of several eras of music from the 60s all the way to the 90s and emulated it as we wrote and recorded the tracks."

"My lyrics have always held a sense of cynicism towards the state of the world, so when I found a prompt in my phone notes that said 'I Hate the Internet', Foenix and I found the perfect match for the story and sound! Every song was written through my personal experiences which I believe also mirrors a whole generation's, as most of us today grew up on the internet. From attachment issues to wanting to alter your physical appearance at every minor inconvenience, I tried to capture our generation's thoughts in an introspective, yet satirical and almost comedic way” says Lavi.

“There's a story in the EP, if you really look out for it. But my favorite part is even if you don't care about the message, the tracks are incredibly fun to listen to and groove to" says Lavi.
