Welcome! 

What is this thread?

A place to share new discoveries that fits under the broad concept INDIE.

'Dark Heart' by Tunng, a quirky tune which isn't exactly easy to sing along to BUT reminds me of some of the most creative indie music of the last decade.

We are an art collective from Brazil (Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo), and we make live electronic jams with acoustic instruments and poetry. We also produce artwork for our releases and for visual art projects (check out our Instagram profile). Its all independent and always working with different partnerships and connecting people and talents.

 

Thanks community! Right on
