about

This album is a series of recordings released posthumously after Holy Drone Travellers broke up in October 2020, and was originally released to help aid the people of Nepal as they endured through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Original Release notes:

"We know Coronavirus has affected everyone but Nepal has had to face it more tragically. We are/were not equipped for this pandemic, there is no access to safety & preventive measures in and around the Valley. The expansion of COVID-19 has left the population out of their normal life routine and ways to run a house. In Nepal. It is very evident that the daily wage workers and those belonging to the middle-class have become more exposed and vulnerable to the unseen circumstances created by Coronavirus. To tell you the truth, People are willing to die of Covid rather than Hunger!

Keeping this in mind, we as a group of artists and you as our supporters will be aiming to support this particular population (low-income families & daily wage workers) by providing basic raw food materials as well as basic medical supplies.

Solution
We (You and Us) will be working with a very active YOUTH MEMBERS who have been super involved in such activities since long. As Bhuyash (he hails from Kathmandu, Nepal) tells, this hardcore independent team formed in the year 2015, when Nepal dealt with devastating earthquake.

The Project:
The selective tracks included in the Album were recorded between the Spring of 2018 and Fall 2020. With your purchase of this Album, we give you the sense of fulfillment and pride in having done a wondrous contribution for people of Nepal.

Your donation will be directed towards low-income communities and in remote villages once the travel ban is lifted. As discussed earlier, we would like to be very clear that we are NOT focusing on fulfilling the painfully high oxygen demands or ambulance demands right now. But if we feel it’s possible, we may venture into that area too. Few partners helping us this project will be Lalita Gyan Kunj, Nepal and Kathmandu.

We are here just to BRIDGE the gap between various day to day resources. And We are HERE with a hope that it brings smile to at least one family.

With the purchase of this music album, you help us give back to the country that has majorly inspired our Music. This will be an ongoing project. As we receive funs, we will forward it and use it for families in the community in need."
