Hailing from Houston, Texas, Tarul now resides in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. As a multi-instrumentalist and multi-genre artist, Tarul takes complete control of his music, writing, producing, and recording all his tracks independently. With the lens of an Indo-American, Tarul addresses the topics of materialism, intimacy, politics, and the deeply rooted—and often self-destructive—desire for greatness. His upcoming concept album, Whether by Nature or Nurture, Small, represents an exciting new turn in his music and is scheduled for release on June 20, 2025.
With a new album around the corner, Tarul gives us his latest genre-blending taste with the shoegaze-leaning, densely textured “Looms.” The hard-hitting yet plush single is a quick and potent example of the artist’s fearlessness. This time around, Tarul’s lofty visions manifest into murky guitar tones that are cut through by pop-leaning melodies, neck-breaking drums, and subtle, twinkling keys. The artist’s uniquely intricate approach to modern fusion enables him to create detailed portraits in his music, and on “Looms,” he paints a scene of despair. The poetically vulnerable songwriting finds the artist in a moment of loss and longing, as they attempt to navigate an ever-changing world with a head full of worries. Tarul details these emotions vividly and delivers them with a lo-fi warmth that miraculously doesn’t detract from the raw passion of the performance. “Looms” is a spellbinding piece of rock fusion that hints at Tarul’s upcoming project, as it is sure to be an expansive and personal release.
