I began searching the internet for publications and music reviewers around the world. I’d begun to expand my taste to all the well-known genres, delving deep into hip hop and pop. I’d learned of classic albums by well-revered artists.

Youtube reviewers like theneedledrop provide well-articulated reviews and genre recommendations, Pitchfork’s Best New Music awards are always reliable, Brooklyn Vegan gives solid monthly album picks for all genres, Bandcamp Daily highlights much lesser known artists and musical movements, and The Quietus is the only spot you need for the most esoteric sounds.
