This track evolves the Dye Corduroy sound, weaving alternative rock elements with an indie-country sensibility. Every second line in every verse is a question and the lyrics teeter between the narrative:  
'On a full moon plain sight; where have you been?
On a scale one to might; where do I fit in?
On a paper clenched so tight; what have you writ?
In the dream I had tonight; where had you been?'

Scale Paper Moon

New single from the recording session "Here Beside the Decoy", This Mortal Coil goes back to the alternative/post-grunge/indie roots with feral riffs and muted chugging chords.
Key Lyric: "I want to see you slip inside the dark; Like drowning on Noah's Ark"

This Mortal Coil

Penned in Lahore and recorded in Philly, this song captures the essence of the Dye Corduroy Urdu-Rock sound. Best heard through: Great headsets, Super loud speakers and a bland disconcerting stare aimed at the real world.

"Jeevan mein joh naheen; Woh khwab mein saheeh..."


Dastak

Semi-autobiographical?  Maybe... 
Pop-Rock?  Unfortunately...
Radio friendly angst? Most definitely!

When I Was Young

Dark, you ask? Brooding? 
Yes indeed....
but with enough saccharine to wisp, trump (pun-intended) and rock your indie heart.

Lyrics:

I need a version; before the surgeons
Remove the cancer; I need an answer

I need a witness; a friend in distress
To prove my leaning; still holds some meaning

A breach in time as light turns amber
The miles I kept on chasing while you dragged the anchor
I thought I heard you through the clamor 
The bounty and the hunted; now and the never

I crave succession; an heir to fashion
My brand of madness; to sketch my atlas
(the dark of night holds true, 
my headlights trained on you, 
but will it pull me through?)

A breach in time as light turns amber
The miles I kept on chasing while you dragged the anchor
I thought I heard you in the tremors
The bounty and the hunted; now and forever

I need a version; before the surgeons
Remove the cancer; I need an answer

Facts about the song:

Naheen Koi Darmiyaan

Track #5 on the EP Paanch Gaanay - This song is the definitive nod to the grunge-folk & alternative sensibilities translated into meaningful Urdu metaphors and soliloquies 

Siyah Saweray

In all it’s angsty-grungy glory, this song brings out the quintessential truth between the lies. From bonds to ties to communication lines, the infestation of misinformation on an emotional, political and social level is a heartfelt song in this tune...

Key lyric:

Zehnoan mein hai doobta eemaan / Khud see khoiee khud kee pehchaan / Inteha say waapsee / Kay raastay mumkin naheen




Sab Jhoot Hai

The definitive urdu alternative rock anthem...

Kiya Tum Ho Wohee

Stellar fierce indie rock melancholia laced with orchestration that seeps into a beautiful lament and a hooky refrain.

The underdog thoughts; The fear that's on the mend
The unresolved plot; The letters never sent
I called your name a hundred times; Had to let it ring
I laid the blame a million miles; The consequence it brings

Underdog Thoughts

Indie/Alternative/Grunge-folk

Dye Corduroy is an indie rock band that spans the meridians across Riyadh to Lahore to the East Coast. 

Against the ever-pressing kamikaze' sensibilities of shallow mainstream piggy banks that today's music "industry" has become. towards the real chaste apprenticeship in true songwriting. Things you feel, not things that would sell. Never a servant of formulaic ways. Always soul-stepping, sunburning, soothing, aching and always alive. The songs I sing are all that remain past the gossamer of self-afflicted veneration.  Punk, grunge, alternative, power-pop, folk rock. A satellite of my two cents. An emotion you resonate to. Glorify the common and deconstruct the hyper-blown.
