Indie band The Tin Roofs record their debut album in a converted rice mill

The Tin Roofs, a four-piece band from a small town in western Maharashtra, have released their debut album, Courtyard, recorded live over five nights in a converted rice mill.

The band could not afford a studio for a full album. A friend's family offered the empty mill, which has a high wooden roof and a natural echo the band decided to keep. Microphones were hung from beams, and the band played each song together, with few overdubs.
