Found these guys thanks to I think ButterflyEffect because they're on the same label as Colleen Green. So thanks for that :) Also still loving Early Riser by Taylor McFerrin.
Of course! I'm super stoked that you ran with the Colleen Green recommendation and found something that's new to you! Shannon and the Clams are great, and going through label websites is an amazing way to find a bunch of new music.
This surprised me. I tried looking into a label's roster page and found lots of artists that I liked, though I didn't discover them that way. I understand that this is a good way of finding new artists. Reminds me of the crate-digging days. Now, in 2015, as someone who doesn't buy CDs and owns mostly digital music, it's just way out of my world. BTW, I discover artists through interviews, a few blogs, internet radio, Youtube (very rarely), and Wikipedia (when I dive into an unexplored genre).
Recently Youtube has been creating playlists in my recommended section based on genres I've been listening to, which has been giving me a bunch of new stuff! It's how I found Floating Points, Taylor McFerrin and The Internet. So that's cool. Which blogs do you frequent? I'm always on the lookout for new music :)
I like digging for new music in those mixes on YT. As I wrote before, I do that when I want to listen to a new genre. Most of the time, my search starts in Wikipedia. I tried reading theneedledrop.com, but I prefer the videos. There's also this guy and a site in Portuguese I subscribe to in my RSS feed. Other than that, I read random blogs when I can't find my way into the new genre I'm interested in. This is an example.Which blogs do you frequent?
