The band consists of the members:
Kasper Eistrup (vocals & guitar)
Mads Tunebjerg (bass)
Asger Techau (drums)
Henrik Lindstrand (keyboards & guitar).
Their earlier albums were musically in the vein of Primus and Red Hot Chilli Peppers, but with their third full length album their style changed dramatically to be influenced by Jeff Buckley and Radiohead, a style often characterised by newcomers as in the same veins as Coldplay, however Kashmir has in Kasper Eistrup, an original text writer and singer, who can hardly be summarized as anything close to Chris Martin.
To this date, the band have released seven full length albums. Their latest, E.A.R. (2013). With the release of NBP, the band yet again changed direction musically to be inspired by artists such as Sonic Youth and other noise rockers.
It should be noted that there also was a Swiss band with the same name which was active between 1979 and 1982. Consisting of keyboarder Patrice Guenat and singer Henry Dubelly, they produced two albums that range between synthesizer pop and neo-progressive genres.
Another danish band in the 70s was also called Kashmir or more correctly "Jørgen Thomsen & Kashmir", but due to Spotify (Kashmir, Jørgen Thomsen tag) they will scrobble as Kashmir, despite being a backing band at least on the 1972 record they recorded:
Jørgen Thomsen was backed by prominent musicains in "Kashmir": Nils Tuxen (Savage Rose, Flemming Hansen (bass), Ken Gudman at drums and Carl Åge Isaksen on piano.
Kashmir - The Band (Urdu: کشمیر ـ دی بینڈ) is an alternative rock band from Karachi, Pakistan. It is the winning band of Pepsi Battle of the Bands Season 2 in 2017. The band consist of Bilal Ali (vocalist), Vais Khan (lead guitarist), Usman Siddiqui (bass guitarist), Shane J. Anthoney (drummer), Zair Zaki (rhythm guitarist), and Ali Raza (keyboardist).

In the Sand
Kashmir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With her indigo eyes
And her brand new gear
She won't stay for long
And she has to walk straight home
Patience, time comes, she says
Kiss me but don't you tell
This is over as soon as this fire burns through
She's on the ocean
He's in the sand
She's stuck in motion
He is sliding gently off her hand
Springtime and turmoil
She pours white wine
And gets herself lost
She falls over
And disappears into the meadows
Wayward and high strung
She is lovesick and ever so strong
Then it's over like none of it ever was real
She's on the ocean
He's in the sand
She's stuck in motion
He slides so gently off her hand
The song ‘In the Sand’ by Kashmir explores the theme of fleeting love and the pain that it brings when it is over. The girl in the song is depicted as being flighty and elusive, with her ‘brand new gear’ and ‘indigo eyes’. She only stays for a short time and then leaves, reminding the singer to be patient and wait for the right time to come. Despite the short-lived nature of their relationship, the girl and the singer share a passionate moment, marked by the line ‘Kiss me but don’t you tell, This is over as soon as this fire burns through’.
The lyrics of the song suggest that the girl is unable to commit to the relationship, as she is constantly ‘stuck in motion’ and ‘wayward and high strung’. In contrast, the singer appears to be more invested in the relationship, but ultimately he is helpless as the girl slips away from him. The contrast between the two characters is further emphasized by their respective environments - the girl is on the ocean, which represents change and movement, while the singer is in the sand, which represents stability and permanence.
Overall, ‘In the Sand’ is a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and the inevitably of its fleeting nature. This theme is conveyed through the contrast between the two characters and the imagery of the ocean and the sand.
Line by Line Meaning
Sometimes the girl is here
Occasionally, the girl is present
With her indigo eyes
Her eyes are a shade of blue-violet
And her brand new gear
She has new clothing or equipment
She won't stay for long
She will not remain for an extended period
And she has to walk straight home
She must go directly back to her residence
Patience, time comes, she says
She advises to wait since the proper time will arrive
Kiss me but don't you tell
She requests a kiss, but secrecy must be maintained
This is over as soon as this fire burns through
The relationship concludes once the passion subsides
She's on the ocean
She is out on the water
He's in the sand
He is situated in the sand
She's stuck in motion
She is unable to move forward
He is sliding gently off her hand
He is gradually slipping away from her grasp
Springtime and turmoil
It is the season of spring, a time of unrest
She pours white wine
She is drinking white wine
And gets herself lost
She becomes disoriented
She falls over
She stumbles and drops down
And disappears into the meadows
She fades away into the fields
Wayward and high strung
She has a wild and tense quality
She is lovesick and ever so strong
She is infatuated and unwavering
Then it's over like none of it ever was real
The relationship concludes and seems as though it never existed
She's on the ocean
She is out on the water
He's in the sand
He is situated in the sand
She's stuck in motion
She is unable to move forward
He slides so gently off her hand
He delicately slips away from her grasp

Kiss me but don't you tell
This is over as soon as this fire burns through

He's in the sand
She's stuck in motion
He is sliding gently off her hand
Springtime and turnoil
She pours white wine
And gets herself lost
She falls over
And disappears into the meadows
Wayward and highstrung
She is lovesick and ever so strong
Then it's over like none of it ever was real
She's on the ocean
He's in the sand
She's stuck in motion
He slides so gently off her hand

this is an amazingly underrated band..i remember listening to this band on mtv mexico a while back..rocket brothers and surfing the warm industry got some good airplay but the states didnt play it..what surprises me the most is the little views..i mean at least the danish people should recognize good music and this should have alot more views from their hometown country at least..great band hopefully their still together and making good music like they were..honestly amazing band..the right promotion and thry would be up there with colplay no doubt
@2000benedikt
The band is actually quite popular in Denmark. There's only 5.5 million people in Denmark, so the fact that this video has almost 100,000 views, is quite an achievement.
@alexanderkanto6155
They are still going strong and still developing as a band, although it will be hard to find gold like this among their future tracks. But then again... Dizzy Mizz Lizzy (another Classic Danish band emerging in the 90's) actually just reinvented themselves recently. So why shouldn't Kashmir be able to do the same?
@JulianSolanas
those two songs that you mention... i feel exactly the same way!
@menesjr.1421
Alguna vez significó tanto ella. Ahora solo queda el recuerdo en esta hermosa canción.
@oven6220
なんでこんなにいいバンドが全然認知されないのか不思議で仕方ない・・・
@zovecko
Pasará el tiempo, decenas de vidas, cientos de amores y miles de canciones en que te seguiré recordando y reviviendo... Indigo eyes.
