An indie group based in San Francisco, Cindy puts a spare, homespun spin on slowcore and indie pop influences. The band released their first album, Cindy, in 2018, before adding a devoted keyboardist to the lineup. The resulting quartet went on to produce more of their murmured, languidly catchy ruminations on albums including 2020's Free Advice before leader Karina Gill took a more openly collaborative approach to a similar end on 2023's Why Not Now?
