Indie rock was one of the dominant genres in the early 2000s. This episode looks at some of the more notable instances of video game music influencing the indie sound, with stories of Super Mario, Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy infiltrating the work of artists such as Owen Pallett, Boom Bip and Fleet Foxes. All this plus a stern warning against going to Coachella if you haven’t been already!
