these Irish guys I liked recently

How does one find good new music these days? There should be channels on youtube where artists upload examples of their craft, sorted by genres. And then people can discover them. Or does something like that exist? And I don't mean people who uploads individually to their own channel. I am aware of such thing happening.

>>28439 What's your problem with the artists uploading it themselves? On Bandcamp you can browse by genre and listen to snippets or sometimes even the full songs, but the artists all have their own profiles there.

>>28443 >What's your problem with the artists uploading it themselves? I have no problem with that. I just think it would be easier to find if you had one single place to find them, instead of having to browse thousands of individual ones. I have never really used bandcamp. Should take a look at that. Might be exactly what I had in mind.

>>28439 I am somewhat fortunate to mostly like electronic music, for which Soundcloud works pretty well. It's about as good as Last.fm (RIP) used to be, and that one was really good. When I feel like investing more time, I also use Hype Machine sometimes. There is a lot of crap there, but what works decently enough is finding a few good tracks and then clicking through the likes of people who liked these. I cannot recommend Spotify. Spotify recommendations always feel like it tries to pigeonhole your taste into some currently popular genre and then feed you that and only that.

>>28499 My experience with Spotify is the opposite. It’s algorithm and recommendations work really well for me and it often recommends very obscure tracks not only of the genres I already listen to, but also of genres I might be interested in and just haven’t heard about.

Yes

>>28502 Weird. For me, Spotify not only did the pigeonholing (I'm really not that much into dark techno, Spotify!) - it also kept recommending stuff that I hated. Imagine that you like Bad Religion and early Offspring and it keeps recommending you Limp Bizkit (yes, I think Limp Bizkit is shit).

>>28518 why would a Norwegian listen to this?

This works really well. 2 through 5 are all solid bangers.

>>28522 It's funny and has rhythm

>>28519 How much do you listen to Spotify and how long have you used it? Maybe it takes time to really get a grip of your taste.

The best one for recommending new music I've found was Yandex Music.

>>28624 Russian bootlicker

>>28632 Based insurg-fren.

>>28632 just don't rly care where they're from as long as they're good

>>28414 I almost only listen to good albums. I know what I like and where to find new stuff.

>>28439 I mostly use rateyourmusic. Tons of shit to waddle though which encourages the retainment of good stuff once it has been located.

>>28624 Is that even available outside of Russia and other Post Soviet states

>>28439 >artists upload examples of their craft there are some like those, but usually not uploaded by the artists themselves, just fans of the genre you usually find them after flooding your algorithm with that kind of music after a few weeks, ive never had to search myself

I don't listen to new music much anymore, but I found this argue girl band (really a duo), Pacifica and it's really good, and mostly in English
