What sets Indie singing apart

Indie singers often favor a close, conversational delivery recorded near the microphone, with falsetto and light head voice used for color rather than power. The songs are written for character rather than display, so modest ranges are common.

Alternative is the louder, older umbrella it grew from, with more room for shouting and grit.
