Antariksh released their first album,'Khoj' in September 2013, and since then there's been no looking back. ‘Khoj’ is about a search for identity, a quest to understand our own nature. The album has a strong theme across all songs both musically as well as lyrically, touching topics such as ethics, identity crises, hope, greed, chaos and realization – emotions that are a part of our everyday lives. Reviews: Musically they are rich and pretty modern indeed. Excellent drumming with various time variations and very clearly defined guitar work and excellent production. They clearly show signs of becoming mainstream heartthrobs- The Score Magazine What is really intriguing musically about “Khoj” is the intermixing of an oft serious theme with music that is so jumpy, so spunky- Popsplat Magazine
