Indietronica (also called Indie electronic) is a music genre that combines indie, electronica, rock and pop music. Typical instruments used in indietronica music are electronic keyboard, synthesizer, sampler and drum machine. It is also closely related to the relatively less electronic and more acoustic Chillwave (glo-fi) movement.
History
Indie electronic began in the early 1990s, with bands like Stereolab and Disco Inferno, and took off in the new millennium as the new digital technology developed. This included acts such as Broadcast from the UK, Justice from France, Lali Puna from Germany, and The Postal Service and Ratatat from the US, who mixed a variety of indie sounds with electronic music. These were largely produced on small independent labels.[1][2]
