Vivek Shraya

I hate Monday’s, and to ease the pain, I have come across something a little on the playful side, something on the grimey electronic side, and the opposite of sad bastard music. VIvek Shraya has ties to the Tegan and Sara (yes the same Tegan and Sara that had their music beaten to the ground by Grey’s Anatomy), so that’s a good thing! His new album If We’re Not Talking will be released May 15th and you can purchase it here or here. This is what he has to say on his Myspace:

About Vivek Shraya
Vivek Shraya likes to run. Vivek Shraya likes to shake. Vivek Shraya made a record to run and shake to. Produced by Meghan Toohey. He calls it If We’re Not Talking which is ironic because frankly, Vivek Shraya doesn’t shut up.
Vivek Shraya is fluent in English, half-assed in French and brilliant in inappropriate IM discussions. Favorite words include: “HAHAHAHAAHAHA” and “OMG.” Vivek Shraya is an English Major. Thankfully, Vivek Shraya does not repeatedly reference himself in the third person on If We’re Not Talking. Out on May 15, 2007.
