An introduction

About the music.

When Chai Met Toast emerged from Kerala's music community. Their songs sit between indie folk, alternative rock and pop, with personal experiences forming the centre of their writing. The band's own account describes a continuing interest in turning those experiences into music to share.

Joy of Little Things introduced their recorded work in 2017, followed by Believe. Later releases include the full-length When We Feel Young and the EP LYTS. Start with the two early EPs here, then follow their official website for the wider catalogue.
