El Paso Indie
El Paso indie is Spotify's label for indie artists from El Paso, the Texas city on the border with Mexico.
It is a place tag, not a style. Two well-known bands formed in the city sound nothing alike: the slow, hazy dream pop of Cigarettes After Sex and the loud post-hardcore of At the Drive-In. Spotify groups artists this way because they share a home city and listeners, so the label says where an act comes from rather than how it sounds.
Artists it is known for: Cigarettes After Sex, At the Drive-In.
