Best indie pop albums

Indie pop favors melody, jangle, and intimacy over rock muscle, a lineage running from the C86 cassette generation through Belle and Sebastian to today's bedroom pop. Sweetness of tune and smallness of scale are the point, not a limitation.

According to Riffiter listeners, the best indie pop album is Charm by Clairo, rated 5.0/5 by 4 listeners.
