If you're into indie music, you probably know just how difficult it is to find great new indie tracks to listen to just by casually browsing for what's available on popular music platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music.
Those platforms are great if you want to easily discover music from artists who work with major record labels, but you'll likely have better luck looking elsewhere for new music released by less popular signed artists or independent artists known for their super obscure pop, rock, folk, hip-hop or electronic sound (dubbed the modern-day "indie" genre).
To help solve this problem of indie artists needing to share their music and indie music fans needing to discover new music, a number of sites have popped up seeking to bring artists and listeners together.
Hype Machine is a music website that tracks hundreds of music blogs from around the web and pulls information from their latest posts to find new music to share with you. The site shares new music from a variety of genres, but you can filter music by genre to see new tracks by indie, indie rock or indie pop genres.
Several new tracks are added daily, with the most recently added ones at the top. Just click the play button beside each track summary to start listening. Once the track has finished, the next one down the list will start playing.
Indie Shuffle harnesses the music tastes of a diverse group of people who are excited to share new music. Their belief is that humans are better at discovering new music than algorithms are, which is why they use a team of international curators to bring you the best in indie rock, hip hop, electronic and more.
New music suggestions are added to the list almost daily (from newest to oldest) and can be listened directly within the site by clicking the play button on the song thumbnail. They'll be played in order of their listing, with those found on YouTube played in the right sidebar.
Indie Sound is a music streaming platform that lets artists directly upload their music directly and freely promote their music to fans. The site claims to feature over 10,000 indie artists from over 2,000 indie music genres—many of which offer free MP3 downloads of their music to their listeners.
Explore and listen to what's featured, popular, recently added or topping the charts and check out artist profile pages to engage with them directly. If you have an Indie Sound account yourself, you can send your favorite artists private messages.
Every first of the month, BIRP gives indie fans a curated list of over 100 new tracks from indie artists. In fact, you can go back through every month since the site's inception in 2009 to listen to every playlist created since that time and freely listen to each track directly through the site.
Yo make sure you never miss a new playlist, sign up to receive email notifications every time a new monthly playlist is released. When you navigate to the playlist on the site, you can sort tracks by alphabetical order, rating or the most favorites.
Indiemono is a great site to check out if you just want to stick with Spotify as your main music streaming platform. The site compiles playlists using Spotify's streaming service so that you can play tracks directly within the site and follow them in your own Spotify account.
Each playlist specifies how often it's updated (such as Weekly, Every Wednesday or Periodically) and includes playlists according to mood or activity similar to what you can find in Spotify's Browse section—such as Saturday Morning, Introspection, Crossfit, Throwback Hits and more.
