Another 60's revival of the indie rock era, chamber pop or baroque pop is a genre that began in the mid-60s when rock stars started to incorporate classical instruments in their music. A revival occured in the mid-90s as a reaction against the the lo-fi grunge sound and continued into the 2000s and 2010s. We hope you enjoy learning about this genre. Let us know if you can think of any other chamber/baroque pop examples!
