Baltimore Indie
Baltimore indie is the independent music scene of Baltimore, Maryland, known since the mid-2000s for dream pop, synth-pop and playful experimental acts.
The art collective Wham City, formed in 2004, and its Whartscape festival gave the city a busy do-it-yourself scene in the 2000s. Acts tied to the city range from slow, hazy dream pop to emotional synth-pop and playful experimental electronic music, so there is no single Baltimore sound. On Spotify the name works as a place tag for artists connected to the city.
Artists it is known for: Beach House, Future Islands, Dan Deacon.
