Raavi

Formed in 2017 under the moniker Raavi & the Houseplants, Raavi is fronted by queer-desi songwriter Raavi Sita. The band blossomed in the Boston DIY scene before heading to Brooklyn to work on their next project: It Grows on Trees. Raavi’s new EP is born from the trials of pandemic life; two years of worldly idleness left Sita with only a handful of songs to express and cope with enormous upheaval. Fleshed out with the rest of the band - James Duncan on bass, Jason Block on drums, and producer Justin Termotto - It Grows on Trees is the turn of a new leaf for Raavi. With Ruben Radlauer (Model/Actriz & Dirt Buyer) co-engineering and mixing the record, the band found their stride and ran with it.

Raavi’s earnest, narrative-driven lyrics are ushered by a chorus of guitars, taking inspiration from the likes of Slow Pulp and Forth Wanderers. Melding the sounds of guitar-focused indie rock, emo, and 90s alt-rock- the band has achieved a sound that is sincerely their own. But the singularity of It Grows on Trees stems from Sita’s vulnerability. She cannot help but write with, and about honesty. Sita is seeking clarity - to untangle the messes of familial relationships, feelings of relative worth, and harm and conflict.
