Spotify – the music streaming service

Listening to Weyes Blood – Titanic Rising

Listening to Weynes Blood, “Titanic Rising”. Labelled as “indie”, and it is, but I think “retro” and even “classical” labels are better meta-info for this album, which is void of most modern mixing tricks. It is about lyrics, a natural female voice, and clean instrumentals. I am NOT listening to it on Spotify, but the fact is there is no better way to share it, than via a corresponding Spotify play list, which unfortunately can be of poor audio quality, if you are not on premium.

Listening to Spatialize, another creator with a relatively low number of listeners

Again, listening to it on a different platform, although Spotify seems to be making an effort to provide higher quality audio with its relatively new “very high” music quality for premium users. That “very high” is “ok”, but not very good.

Spotify Playlist 20190512

I am a “Spotify Explorer”, heavily relying on the service’s “Discover Weekly” feature, to find new good music. As I age, I find myself steering away from music with vocals, since too many lyrics seem “empty” to me, nothing but near-literal repeats of what was sung before. This is one motive to be an “explorer”: to find whatever still rises above the regular offerings and manages to enchant me.
I compile my findings in these public playlists. Check if you enjoy some.
