Smriti Kalra

Smriti Kalra covers independent music for Tracklist India: new singles, EPs and albums, the artists behind them and the scenes they come out of. She spends a lot of her week at gigs, small venues and listening sessions, and the rest of it working through release radar playlists and inboxes full of demos. She is curious about how songs get made, who is putting out records on their own terms and which local scenes are about to break out. If you are an artist, a label or a fan with a release she should hear, send it to [email protected] with Smriti in the subject line, ideally with a streaming link.

Beat: Indie music, new releases and live scenes
