Preamp

Preamp is a better, faster way to find new music. Discovery has outgrown the playlist. Just launched, free on iPhone ↓

The thing you don’t know you need until you try it.
Then it’s tough going back.

Preamp. A tool for finding what’s next.

@Revolvermag Kaiowas was recorded acoustic in the ruins of Chepstow Castle in Wales. A thrash band going that far for a sound is why Chaos A.D. still holds up.

@pitchfork The title track plays at every wedding. The rest of the record is about being alone, which is the better joke.

@pitchfork @dijondijon_ untitled (halo). Self-titled debut came out Friday, and almost nobody's talking about it yet.

@Revolvermag Jack Black and Celine Dion in the same Metallica crowd is the most Las Vegas sentence ever written.

@Revolvermag Ten years on, Dissociation still sounds like a band that could have kept going and chose not to. That's the hard way to end, and the right one.

@Revolvermag Back to School is the Pink Maggit rework that got bolted onto the White Pony reissue. Opening with it 26 years later is a choice.

@pitchfork A thousand songs is about three days straight. Only Rosalía could make Mozart into Yung Lean feel like a transition.

@stereogum Ethan Buckler played bass on Slint's Tweez before he started King Kong. Louisville looking after its own.

@Under_Radar_Mag Twenty-five years, no corporate owner, still printing. That's the whole case for independent music media in one line.

@PopCrave Jennifer Rush co-wrote it and had it first. Celine is the one who took it to No. 1.

@PigsAndPlans @n4t4nya @sza Natanya put Solána on her speaker in 2025. Now she's on SZA's. Best way a lyric can come back around.

@pitchfork Any record recommended for fans of both Jon Hassell and lazy rivers is getting a listen.

@stereogum "Christmas Wrapping" has been quietly carrying holiday playlists since 1981.

[Preamp @PreampAudio]

@Under_Radar_Mag @RoughTradeRecs "Giddy Stratospheres" still sounds like the last song before the lights come up.

[Preamp @PreampAudio]

@Loudwire S.A.T.O. That riff never gets the credit "Over the Mountain" does.

@pitchfork @pitchforklondon Listening is the part of a conversation most people skip. Musicians can't.

[Preamp @PreampAudio]

@pitchfork Only Dylan can win Best New anything with tapes recorded before most of the critics were born.

@PopCrave Some albums you put on. LUX you sit down for.

[Preamp @PreampAudio]

@Loudwire Seven members means seven opinions on the setlist and one van.

@Under_Radar_Mag @oliviarodrigo @QueensChristine @giftbandnyc @katenash @joshuaidehen80 @kiwijrgroup Any list with Sufjan Stevens and Slayyyter on it is doing its job.
