96) Indie Sweetheart

Yesterday I went to la Universitat de Barcelona to see Maria Coma play a free show in the Edifici Històric. Maria has the same makings of an indie darling that Zooey Deschanel and Regina Spektor enjoy. Adorable face with big, doe eyes fringed with bangs. In the video above, she plays around with unconventional percussion in addition to accompanying herself on keyboard, all while rocking what looks like a secondhand sweater. In another one of her videos, ”Gat”, she employs stop motion manipulating various materials just as Regina did in her “Us” video (both play on cardboard pianos!).

Is there something to be said about the universal ingredients of an indie sweetheart?
