If you’re old enough you still think of “indie” as being all about a DIY ethos and practice – yeah, not so much really. That’s still prevalent with our list of Indie / New Alternate titles of 2013 – but Colorado is really known to many as a birthplace of sorts for “indie” music — going back to the goth-Americana of 16 Horsepower that evolves into Wovenhand — or the likes of the Apples in Stereo or Dressy Bessy. However we define it, it’s one of the more popular “styles” of music in Colorado today.
Only those records released between November 1, 2012 and October 30, 2013 are considered “current” 2013 releases for the purpose of this poll, and the end of year charts.
