     Otra comprises sisters Laura and Kara Malhotra. They are from Pacifica, California. Their album is due for release on February 10, 2023. Quoting content: “As the band ruminates on their purpose and sense of self, the tracks search for their own sonic identities - weaving and wandering erratically through a fogfest of hypnagogic synths, chaotic clarinets, haunting vocal stacks, crunchy guitars, and polyrhythmic earth.”

     Natalia Salter is based in London, but also spends time in Valencia, Spain. Interestingly, she has roots in Peru. She says of “Million And One:”

  “This song is about how I’ve come to accept and embrace my mistakes and decided to choose to love myself in spite of them. ‘Million And One’ is a song for the sensitive souls, who are not afraid to be vulnerable.  It’s for the people who live in the grey and understand that people and this world are not black and white.“
