Band Background

Phosphenes is a Kathmandu-based indie/pop-rock trio founded in 2016 by Abhisek Pokhrel (vocals, guitar) and Prajwal Aryal (vocals, guitar). They were later joined by Aman Karna (multi-instrumentalist/producer)

Early breakout came via their debut SoundCloud single “Dust” (2016), followed by the ‘Know This Time’ EP (2018), blending folk, alternative pop and rock.

Rise to Popularity

The provocatively satirical “Yestai Nai Hola” (2022), critiquing bureaucratic inertia, became a viral hit with over 350k–2M+ views
They followed up in April 2023 with ‘Simit Yaad’, a five-track EP in Nepali exploring themes of memory and introspection, earning praise for its dreamy, experimental sound

Their growing fanbase spans both English and Nepali-speaking audiences, focusing on heartfelt songwriting and genre experimentation.

What Lies Ahead

While no formal next-album release is confirmed, members express continued drive toward deeper experimentation, with solo and collaborative projects (e.g., Prajwal’s solo exploration into sci-fi/neo-psychedelia) already underway
International ambitions are explicit – they aim to break into larger markets like India and beyond.

Phosphenes has firmly established itself as a dynamic force in Nepali indie music – combining atmospheric soundscapes, bilingual lyrics, social themes, and boundary-pushing compositions. Tonight’s live session at Eden is tailored to showcase their unique mix of intimacy, creativity, and audience rapport.
