Shorbanoor’s body of work is indie in its genre, industrial position, and ethos. It is soft and moody guitar rock, produced outside of the ambit of large labels. But the basic definition of indie fails to capture the nature of this music. I find it more helpful to think of Shorbanoor’s music as art pop rather than indie pop. This helps identify that his music is concerned less with the conventions of pop music and more with the references and aesthetic value of fine art.
