Indonesian Indie
Indonesian indie is independent music from Indonesia, spanning indie rock, indie pop and folk made outside the country's mainstream pop industry.
The scene took off in the 1990s in Bandung, where bands adopted a do-it-yourself approach, and Jakarta has since produced many indie bands too. Styles range from indie pop with jazz and swing touches to alternative rock with satirical lyrics about politics and everyday life. The tag is a regional grouping, not a single sound, and the bands under it can differ a great deal.
Artists it is known for: Efek Rumah Kaca, Mocca, White Shoes & The Couples Company.
