After an unofficial hiatus of more than 3 years, Silchar-based Alternative/Funk rock band Monday Work is finally back in the studio. The quartet has already announced plans to release their debut EP in the coming months of this year and has also teased their fans with the artwork of an upcoming single to be released off the aforementioned album. The advent of the year 2021 has seen Monday Work getting reunited with two of their original members, drummer Aranyak Das (Kaihon, Quarantine Theory) and bassist Piyush Sinha (As Oceans Flatline), both of whom parted ways with the band several years back.
It was also mentioned in the update posted by Monday Work that the upcoming single titled ‘Funeral for a Friend’ is dedicated to two of their closest friends. Adarsh Kashyap, vocalist of Quarantine Theory and Meluha, and Aniz Nunisa, vocalist of Phonetic Renage, both of whom had passed away last year. The song is dedicated to the late musicians, with whom the members of Monday Work had shared the stage on many occasions in the past. The single was recorded at the Link Factor Studio in Silchar and its artwork was designed by Abhishek Goswami of the Sonicspawn Studios.
Monday Work was formed by four childhood friends hailing from Silchar, Assam. With Samrat Kemprai on guitar, Sunny Langthasa on vocal duty, Aranyak Das on drums, and Piyush Sinha strumming the bass, the band quickly managed to release a couple of singles merely three years into their existence. ‘Fuzzy Logic’ released in 2013 was the band’s debut original single. After generating a decent amount of local fanbase by performing in the local gigs, in the next couple of years they went on to release two of their most popular singles, ‘Shadows of Your Smile’ and ‘Ways that Never Change’ which further consolidated their stature.
