Is this me walking, in this dreamy world ?"
Limbo is about a rather vivid dream I had. A dream about me in a desolate place. In the dream I initially felt fear and was unsuccessfully looking for people in this awkwardly strange place, where the sky was not how we perceive and the land was not what we tread on. After trying for a while the fear seemed to fade away and even though I was lost and alone in this unknown and very strange place, I was content and surprisingly happy. A lost dream where the unknown was more welcoming than reality. This song is about the celebration of the complex human mind.  
"Dancing my fears away, under the moon. Let loose, let's break free."

Limbo - Single

Limbo

"Corrupted mind's from the 21st century, Look closely and you'll see, The reflection of you in me. We are all guilty."
The definition of society is "a large group of people who live together in an organized way, making decisions about how to do things and sharing the work that needs to be done." As Krishnendu elaborates "People living in society are expected to behave, think and react in a certain way. Depending on a person's upbringing, family, religion, education and political scenario at the time, a person from birth is controlled, manipulated and coerced to the length that they themselves are unaware that we as people are programmed to follow protocols, just like a machine or let's say a computer. Our mind's have been hacked into, without our knowledge." 
The song has powerful hard hitting lyrics with Krishnendu's baritone holding nothing back. The style of the song takes you back to the 60's era psychedelic rock which has inspired Krishnendu with his music. The single Hacked points out how we are victims of social programming and our mind's being controlled. He further adds that "Hacked is a mirror to any society in the world especially in the current time's of unrest all over the world." 
"The sense of reason is the key to the answer. Hidden and asleep, At the corner of your mind."

Hacked

Indie artist Socially Altered releases his new single Mother on the 18th of May 2018 which is a vocally and emotionally driven song about the loss of his grandmother.
While composing the song, Krishnendu Ghosal the solo artist behind Socially Altered has opened up about his true feelings as to the loss of his grandmother who he considered to be his first mother. "Music allows me to say and do things which I normally would keep to myself, so I thought it best to use this freedom of expression for something that's still pure and innocent in my life and would probably always be."
Krishnendu has been disheartened at the loss of his grandmother and still feels the emptiness which cannot be filled by anyone else and he confesses that "This is the most honest to heart song's I have ever written and recorded so far".
The single has a very mellow flowy feel to it with the use of the acoustic guitar. The bass guitar gives a more heavy mood to the song, while the keyboards give a sense of a gentle scream. The vocals is all heart and soul and the catalyst for the entire song is the bird call of a Koel which Krishnendu recorded from the window in his room in the early hours of the morning. "Some sounds and certain smell's can remind a person of a place, time or incident which took place years ago. The Koel bird call reminds me of my grandmother's house where I grew up with her being the centre of my life, so the sound of the bird call was imperative to the song." 
Socially Altered self released his debut EP in November 2016 and since then has released two more singles in 2017. Releasing on the 18th of May 2018, Mother is his first release of this year. He is working on releasing two more single's this year.

Mother

'Faded and Some Forgotten Dreams' is like playing an old VHS cassette, sitting down on a lounge chair and watching your life in front of you on the tv screen. Starting with happiness, hope and raging energy to reaching a bleak sense of being. The song is about flashbacks of your life, the dreams one had and how you turned out to be after a few decades.

'Lost in Jazz' is a song about visualizing, reflecting on your personal struggles and getting lost in the music. Each and every person will have different struggles in life and will visualize maybe the same emotion in a different way. The music is the constant which does not change but then again will be felt differently to everyone on a different level. So 'Lost in Jazz' is a song about different combinations to your emotional safe. It is aimed to unlock the different personal emotions which need not be said but more so just felt.

Have you ever felt cornered? Felt that no one can be trusted? That you are in a snake pit? To the ear the song and in particular the bassline has a lot of up's and down's like a conflicting mind and the slithering effect of the saxophone is like a spectre in the background. The song is about uncertainty, a conflicting mind on who to trust and looming danger.

Socially Altered is a one man band from Kolkata, India. The sole member of the band is Krishnendu Ghosal. The style of music he creates has influences of jazz, blues, alternative rock, psychedelic rock and pop rock. After trying his hand in many professions he turned to his passion which is music. In early 2015 he had been signed under a UK Indie label "Nub Country Records" under which he has released 2 albums namely "Eden After Sunset" and "Above The Clouds" using "Cipher" as his artist name. Moving on from "Cipher" and "Nub Country Records" he has self released his debut EP "Resurgence" in November 2016 under the artist name Socially Altered. The 3 track EP received great admiration from listeners. In the words of Tim Whale from Emerging Indie Bands "Cancer For The Soul embraces the mind from which it will not let it's grip relax for the five and a quarter minutes of it's journey." He further added that "Socially Altered provides material in which the listener is luxuriantly able to slough the deadweight of the darkest emotions in the mesmeric compositions." Another song "Save The Soul" from the EP has been aired on A.V.A Live Radio where Socially Altered has been interviewed live by Jacqueline Jax. Socially Altered has been interviewed and featured on American Pride Magazine and Exposed Vocals as well.
