🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Black Dress" by Keo →

How do you discover new music, and what’s the latest gem you’ve found?

Been challenging to find new stuff since Brooklyn Vegan ended, Stereogum went to subscribers only for a lot of content, Pitchfork and Northern Transmissions seem to be hit or miss if they even post reviews some weeks... I've come to rely on AlbumOfTheYear.org (AOTY) to give me an overview of all of the albums released each week.

So, my current set up is: Apple Music New Releases view, Albums.app release feed, AOTY, then random things I see elsewhere like YouTube.

This one is actually an AOTY find, as I didn't see it on the Apple New Releases prior to listening. Anyway, the record is pretty solid: 90s influenced grunge/alt rock.
