'M Cream', which will hit Indian theatres after doing the rounds of various film festivals, has an indie slant in more ways than one. Srijan Mahajan and Arsh Sharma of eclectic duo FuzzCulture have co-composed the music for 'M Cream' with fellow indie musician Nikhil Malik. It has a rock song (Woh Parinda) and two English tracks (the rock-jazz Man With A Million Drugs and the guitar-heavy Wayfaring Stranger). "The process of creating the music for 'M Cream' was great and honestly really free. We had some amazing contributions from artists such as Shubha Mudgal, IP Singh, Susmit Bose, Suhail Yusuf Khan and Shantanu Pandit," says Arsh, who is otherwise a regular performer at music festivals as part of Fuzzculture. The six-track album is one of the many Bollywood soundtracks to feature vocalists and musicians from the indie music space of the subcontinent that loosely includes the rock, folk, electronica and acoustic genres.
