LA Indie
LA indie is Spotify's label for indie rock and indie pop artists based in Los Angeles.
It is a place tag rather than a style. The city's indie scene has long centered on neighborhoods such as Silver Lake and Echo Park, and its bands range from loud, shoegaze-tinged alternative rock to melodic indie rock and dreamy psychedelic guitar music. Spotify groups them because they share a home city and listeners, so the sound varies widely from one artist to the next.
Artists it is known for: Silversun Pickups, Local Natives, Warpaint.
