>In October 2005, Brock started his own record label called Glacial Pace. The label used to be a subsidiary of Epic Records, but is now independent.

Nobody gives a shit about indie meaning "independent record" anymore, that was just the original meaning. Now it means the sound of the band's music, which is usually softer, upbeat, and talks about the hardships of being a young adult.

These. "Indie" represents the sounds that came out of independent rock during the 70s - early 90s.

>>71062613
indie used to mean independent musician or label but somehow morphed into a genre that is very loosely related to a certain sound, it's kind of a bullshit term.
i blame the internet and teenagers.

>called out for being retarded
>LOL BAITED

Glacial Pace can only repress old MM records at the moment. Modest Mouse is still contractually bound to a major record label for another 2 albums

>>71062944
I've always loosely defined it that way but it feels like this can also sort of apply to alt rock as well
