For the final episode of our Lost & Found series, Kolkata-bred dream-pop duo Parekh & Singh chat with Mae about how their musical upbringing influenced their songwriting today, why they aren’t called “Zap” anymore, and the story of the classic tailor who makes their signature suits. They also dive deep into the making of The Night is Clear, an album that’s as personal as it is dreamy. Some episodes are too special to be left behind - good thing we found this one.

Note: Nischay and Jivraj via a post on Instagram in February 2025 announced that they were bidding farewell to Parekh & Singh. Maed in India wish them all the best and will continue to follow their work as loyal fans.
