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).

Mom In Love Daddy In Space
Kashmir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Choose your own direction
Go have fun some place else
Bring your soul
And your Beach Boys records
I can't stand to have you here
Cold and dehydrated
The fortune's spent
And dad's in space
Every home should have a mom in love
And a daddy in space
Chinese porcelain cats to guard her love
In the window space
Show her some respect she's all worn down
For years to come
I will not forget you
As my son, as my pain
Time will heal
What now feels so wounded
Tears are spilled
And the holes will fill
Every home should have a mom in love
And a daddy in space
Chinese porcelain cats to guard her love
In the window space
Show her some respect she's all worn down
Show her some respect she's all worn down
Show her some respect she's all worn down
Every home should have a mom in love
And a daddy in space
Chinese porcelain cats to guard her love
In the window space
The song "Mom In Love Daddy In Space" by Kashmir is a deeply emotional and introspective song that reflects on the complexities of family relationships. The opening lines, "Walking bones, choose your own direction, go have fun some place else" suggest a deep frustration and weariness with someone, possibly a troubled family member. The subsequent lines, "Bring your soul and your Beach Boys records, I can't stand to have you here" further emphasize this sentiment. The singer is essentially telling this person to leave and find their own way while expressing their own exhaustion with having them around.
As the song continues, the mention of the father being 'in space' adds a surreal and almost melancholic quality to the lyrics. This image of the father being distant and unreachable, and possibly even gone forever, contributes to the pain and sadness at the heart of the song. The refrain "Every home should have a mom in love and a daddy in space" adds to the sense of loss and longing for what could have been, highlighting the importance of having a stable and loving home environment.
Ultimately, the song conveys a profound sense of grief and emotional exhaustion, but also the possibility of healing and moving on. The lines "Time will heal what now feels so wounded, tears are spilled and the holes will fill" suggest that while the pain may be intense, it is not permanent, and that with time and perseverance it is possible to move forward and find peace.

Por fin entiendo la cancion. Su esposo murio y ella esta atareada de la rutina y la complicada vida de una madre soltera asi que decide abandonar a su hijo.
@askinni
It's sad thinking that this is the only international hit these guys ever made.
What about all the other songs? These guys are so consistant that it's insane.
@madselmvig1457
What are you talking about? "Rocket Brothers" were a international hit, so were "Graceland"
