Description

German indie and electronic music blends atmospheric synth-pop, alternative rock, and downtempo electronica, often featuring introspective lyrics in both German and English. The genre emerged from Germany's thriving independent music scene, embracing experimental production and melancholic melodies. It ranges from intimate singer-songwriter works to ambient soundscapes and dance-oriented tracks.
