I watched this video at work and it was fantastic. It's called "How to find new music in the age of algorithms" and it was put out by Notes From The Archives. Basically, he talks about how
I wanted to make a little page of links to some of the resources he highlights.
Music Journalism:
Pitchfork (duh) - especially the best new music section
Hearing Things - started by ex-Pitchfork writers/staff
The Wire - Have been around a long time, cutting edge
The Quietus - Underground and experimental music. Album of the week section.
Bandcamp Daily - highlighting obscure music through features and recommendations
Music Influencers:
Anthony Fantano of the Needle Drop
Deep Cuts - Mostly inactive, but good back catalogue
Forums and Social Media:
This one's a bit of a minefield, but with a little digging I bet I could find some good places.
Rate Your Music
The Ambient Forum especially was highlighted in this video
NTS Radio
This is an online radio station of curated sets by artists. Sessions?
He mentioned in the video that there's a session focusing on all the jazz music mentioned in Haruki Murakami novels and that sounds so far up my alley it's insane. I found it! It's here.
He also mentioned that Theo Parrish has ultra-long soul and funk mixes which would be perfect for cleaning. Maybe like My Analog Journal?
(And if you don't know about My Analog Journal, it's awesome. A YouTube channel that specializes in obscure records from all over the world, especially funk, soul, Latin, and jazz)
I'm excited about the NTS Radio Reimagining Country session with Jamal Khadar.
NTS also has mixes and sessions from many different musical artists.
Cool and Niche Labels:
Factory Records for New Wave
International Anthem: focusing on jazz
Hubro: Norwegian label that puts out jazz and jazz fusion with post-rock, ambient, and more
Sacred Bones Records: Underground and experimental. It's not a genre, but a vibe.
Sublime Frequencies: Folk, field recordings, and ethnomusicology
I already found a fantastic artist that I love through this video (Moor Mother), and I'm looking forward to rabbit holing my way through some of the other recommendations.
