Why is this artist indie?

Released their first album "Fingers Crossed", through Bar None Records - this album takes the listener to an array of music formed from different instruments - from keyboards synths and tubas, to handclaps and tap shoes.Their song "Souvenirs" first came into international exposure as the background music for a Sprint commercial. Considered Twee for the most part - their songs elicit a happy-go-lucky feel albeit about cemetaries and walking on the moon with stalkers.
