Welcome to the Indiepop Atlas! Here's what's been going on lately!
UPDATE: 03/24/2024
I've not really touched the site this past month, I've not even been listening to all that much indiepop. I've come to the decision it's time to announce a hiatus until my cyclic interest in the genre returns. I apologize for any disappointment this may cause, but I promise to return even better in the future.
UPDATE: 02/29/2024
Your inconstant site owner has finally made an appearance! Here's a song from everyone who sent me music this past month. Hope y'all enjoy some of them!
UPDATE: 02/12/2024
Been another busy week offline for me, finally made one change I've been meaning to do: swap the "About" tab to be the homepage and replace the old "About" with an "Updates" tab, as you can see if you're reading this. Also added our first Peruvian entry to the Atlas, along with a couple quick little artist pages. Also I accidentally erased the old Atlas page, so it probably looks a bit different now, sorry! I think I just need to get into a groove of making sure I update at least one thing per day. But I probably won't give y'all an update for every little thing anymore, just the significant ones.
UPDATE: 02/06/2024
No need to fear, I have not forgotten about the Atlas itself! Not a big update, but enough that I don't feel like I'm abandoning the site anymore. I'm also thinking it'll take a while to get artist pages up for all the already-cataloged artists; there's a few there that I don't feel like I know well enough to write a brief summary for, alas. Also don't forget about the poll from a few weeks ago! I've got a few answers, but I'd love to have more before I can decide the results are representative of the readers!
UPDATE: 02/02/2024
The reissue of The Decline and Fall of Heavenly has been released today! In its honor, I have reissued an old review I found in the archives, written all the way back in 2017. I hope y'all like it!
UPDATE: 01/28/2024
New review today! Unlike the past few, which have been some of my obscurest faves, this one is for a brand new album: Fairweather Friend by the Umbrellas.
UPDATE: 01/26/2024
Been thinking about artists who may have started out as indiepop, but are currently not. For example, Primal Scream or Javiera Mena. I'm personally not sure if I think that type of artist should be included here, so I thought I'd put it to a reader vote. Y'all can go here to fill out a quick poll to let me know what you think! In a week or two, once I've got a representative number of results, I'll make sure to let everyone know the results. Thanks in advance to all who take it, you're helping to make Indiepop Atlas the best site it can be!
UPDATE: 01/25/2024
Been a pretty busy week, but I finally made profile pages for the reviewed artists! It's gonna take a while for me to get pages made for all the other artists, but it'll happen eventually. No other new content, unfortunately.
UPDATE: 01/18/2024
Added a review of the Capricorns' debut album, In the Zone! I've still not done any work on starting to create artist pages, unfortunately, but that's still coming up in the near future. By the end of this weekend, I hope to have that done for at least the artists whose albums are reviewed on here.
UPDATE: 01/16/2024
Added a review of Betelmire's EP 606 MPH! I've also made the first baby steps into creating artist profiles for all the entries on the site, so expect that to be accomplished in the next couple weeks. I might also change these updates to their own posts, but I haven't decided yet. That's it for now, talk later!
UPDATE: 01/12/2024
Added pages for Germany, Switzerland, and Australia to the site! I've also added an old review I wrote for the Pennikurvers self-titled. I'm going to try to keep a good mixture of new albums and my thoughts on old favorites in the reviews section. If there's something you think'd like to review for the site, please send me an email about it! I'd love to hear from you!
UPDATE: 01/10/2024
I have written the first ever Indiepop Atlas review! It's for dalsi's 2023 album Cantigas de amor; I hope my review inspires some of y'all to check them out and fall in love like I did. At the time of writing this update, the link in the reviews page does not work yet, but it should be all fixed up by the time you read this.
UPDATE: 01/02/2024
We've got our first reader-submitted update! Thank you so much to Jaime, who graciously shared his knowledge of Spanish indiepop with the Atlas. I've been checking out his submissions all morning, and I highly recommend that anyone reading this do the same.
UPDATE: 12/31/2023
The site is now usable an entire day ahead of schedule! This first set of bands is very much focused on those who are currently active, and also very biased towards things I've already heard. As someone who created the site because she had trouble finding new indiepop bands, that obviously means the lists are rather limited for now. If your favorite band is missing, or if you're in a band you think belongs here, please just send me an email at indiepopatlas@gmail.com and I'll add it ASAP! Thanks so much for reading!
