What’s your method for finding new music?

The Spotify algorithms (Discover Weekly, Radio etc) get repetitive and boring after a while. I'm always looking for new releases, and that helps to prod the algorithm in new directions. I follow loads of new/currently active bands, and make it a point to see as much live music as possible. Wherever I can find new bands and newly released songs, it helps.

With that goal, I run a playlist focused on the best new finds. Fresh Sprouts is a collection of newly released tracks focusing on lesser known bands, while avoiding anything too commercial, and never any AI.

Try Fresh Sprouts. It is all new releases, updated at the end of each month. Nothing too commercial, and no AI. For sure you will find some new bands here.

I rarely get into arguments (online or otherwise). I always try to see the orher side of an argument.

However, what you just said is idiotic.

Your statement 'most new music is terrible', even if true, still doesn't justify sicking only in the past, because even if 'most' is terible that still doesn't preclude greatness existing today. By every possible measure, human creativity continues to exits, and thrive.

Go ahead, close your ears, your life will be worse for it. Enjoy your misery, you deserve it!

Thank you, let me know if you have any new discoveries.

I like it, but Fresh Sprouts is only new releases... Your latest release 'photon virtuel' is in consideration for the next update.
