Indie Electronic

Indie Electronic

The longer we live and listen in this digital world, the weirder it feels to talk about electronic music. Still, it’s the artists that have embraced the possibilities of electronics on their own terms that have turned out the most reliably interesting music, hybrids that combine classic songwriting and expressivity—be it rock, soul, indie or pop—with sounds and forms that didn’t exist until the programming did. From the downtempo, club-inflected indie pop of artists like The xx to the straight-up cybernetic visions of FKA twigs, here’s a playlist gathering the most exciting indie electronic music of the still-young millennium. Our editors update tracks here regularly, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
