Indie rock

Zee Avi is a Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of The Carpenters, The Cranberries, Cat Power, Regina Spektor and Leonard Cohen. Those roots explain a lot about how Zee Avi arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Anya Marina, Eagle-Eye Cherry, Jason Mraz, KT Tunstall and Jack Johnson, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Bobby McFerrin, Ani DiFranco, Michael Jackson, Joni Mitchell and The Raconteurs, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 32 connections around Zee Avi, reaching back through The Carpenters and forward to Bobby McFerrin.
