Small Room
Small room is a Spotify-coined label for quiet, intimate indie rock and indie folk that sounds as if it was recorded in a bedroom or basement.
The name describes the feeling of the recordings rather than a scene: close, unpolished vocals, a few guitars, light drums and very little studio gloss. It groups do-it-yourself bands and solo songwriters, mostly from the 2010s on, whose songs are personal and low-key. It sits between lo-fi indie, bedroom pop and emo-leaning indie folk, and the term is not used outside Spotify.
