What is Indie Electronic?
By Alan More
Indie electronic, often called indietronica, folds electronic music into indie adjacent styles like shoegaze and post rock.[1] The style started around the turn of the millennium, as digital production tools became widely accessible to independent artists.[2] Its beats tend to be less club ready than mainstream electronic music, preferring a more relaxed, trip-hop feel.[3]
On Videojam, Indie Electronic carries 65 public videos. Artists most represented in the catalog are Flume, The Blaze and Bjork. Indie Electronic sits in the Indie & Electronic pillar of the EDM taxonomy, alongside Indie Dance.
