Maggie8. The one song I have is a pleasant and slightly unusual number thanks to it being part of the Indietracks 2016 compilation.
mp3: Maggie8 – Mitzi
Some info taken from elsewhere on t’internet.
Maggie8 are an indie folk band from Leeds, UK whose sound juxtaposes Eastern harmonies with Western sensibilities. By adding banjo, melodica, violin and trumpet – as well as Hindi influences – to an ‘indie pop’ sound they have prompted listeners to describe them as a ‘Hindi Housemartins’ or a “Bhangra Belle and Sebastian”.
The band’s singer, Niv, says Maggie8 are ‘a little bit pop, a little bit folk, Hindustani classical with some old Bollywood tinges’. Their influences include John Coltrane, Led Zeppelin, Aphex Twin, The Housemartins and a mix of bollywood and classical Indian ragas.
Maggie8 are: Nivedita Pisharoty (vocals and bass), Mark Wright (vocals, guitar and banjo), Peter Mottram (keyboards), Dominic Hand (trumpet and melodica), James Mann (guitar), Matt Figgis (drums).
Discogs lists two albums from 2015 and 2016, along with a couple of singles. I can only presume that the band is no longer active.
