Mumbai, 21st October 2026: Kolkata-based indie rock band Pelican Shuffles return with “If I Lose Myself Today,” a guitar-driven new single and music video released on September 30, 2026. Blending introspective songwriting with melodic, energetic rock, the track captures the band’s evolving sound.
“If I Lose Myself Today” explores the feeling of losing direction, questioning your place in the world and trying to hold on to your identity amid constant change. Atmospheric guitars, an infectious vocal melody and a driving full-band arrangement balance emotional depth with the sing-along energy of indie rock. The song reflects the uncertainty of navigating life while searching for a sense of self.
