Following the acclaim of his debut EP ‘Friends Tonight, Strangers Again’ in 2023, hailed by Red Bull India as “a quintessential Indian indie EP” and by The Indian Music Diaries as “five tracks of rock bliss”, Mumbai - based musician and songwriter David Britto aka Arrows, releases his next offering and new EP ‘Wilderness’.

The EP ‘Wilderness’ is a heartfelt tribute to Britto’s family, featuring four tracks, namely 38, an instrumental homage to the home he grew up in, The Light which offers hope, the title track Wilderness, honouring his late grandmother and Say To You for his parents.

Arrows reunited with Bombay-based singer-songwriter Vernon Noronha for the entire EP. Noronha, who also produced the EP, first collaborated with Arrows on his debut single Spaces in 2019. His skilled production and acute understanding of acoustic arrangements elevate the record.

Sharing more about this release, David Britto said, "I wanted to create a collection of songs dedicated to my family, each one wrapped in an acoustic soundscape that mirrors the deep emotions I feel. The artwork, too, captures the essence of this EP.” Launched in 2018, Arrows is the collaborative project of musician and songwriter David Britto. Known for his performances at festivals like Bacardi NH7 Weekender and Sula Fest with his previous band, Bombay blues-rockers The Tripp, Arrows has gone on to gain recognition through features on Spotify’s ‘Rock in India’ and Apple’s ‘Future Hits’ playlists.

Arrows blends Britto’s powerful songwriting with contributions from prominent Indian indie artists such as Raghav Meattle, Blackstratblues, Tejas, Riya Duggal, Siddharth Barsur, Vernon Noronha, and The Lightyears Explode. As a journalist for Rolling Stone India for eight years, Britto has expertly chronicled India's evolving music scene and hosts the My First Record podcast, celebrated for its insightful interviews with top artists. He has also started a new music blog called Writing Ears. Arrows released his debut EP, ‘Friends Tonight, Strangers Again’ in September 2023.
