#NewMusicFriday #DiscoverDaily

 

2021 week 01 : from January 1 to January 7, 2021

 

Selected and added : January 1 - 30 tracks

 

A Different January

 

I wish everyone a Happy New Year 2021 full of great music. Despite the Covid-19, 2020 was a good enough year for Indie / Alternative music with 6,650 songs featured in our monthly playlists. We begin January 2021 with 30 carefully handpicked new releases.

 

Be the first to Discover the new indie releases on Spotify before most of the other monthly/yearly playlists on the place. Be aware that we add only tracks we have listened and that are pleasing us. If you don't find a song, it will come surely the next days or never, if we don't select it.

 

Started ten years ago the monthly "Different" playlist will keep to be the only one gathering together well known, less known and unknown artists, selected through only one filter : my ears considering the quality of their music.

 

As usual this playlist is a carefully handpicked selection of new releases, including #NewMusicFridays releases and the other daily releases all along each week. This playlist is updated daily until the end of the month.

 

Note : As any selection, this compilation is totally subjective and represents only Soundofus taste and choice.

 

For starting January, listen to :

Foo Fighters / The Dirty Nil / Melvins / Amyl and The Sniffers (covering Patrick Hernandez) / Wyatt Oiney & The Wreckage / The Atom Age / The Prefab Messiahs / Chaser / The Black Keys / You Me At Six / Brandi Carlile / HIGH/LOW / VLLNS / Yeenar / Riley Queer / Cathedral Bells / Koalra / Newton Faulkner / Mikaela Davis, Mary Lou Lord / Ben Kweller / Another Sky / Bludgers / Bill Callahan, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, George Xylouris / The Besnard Lakes / the Glass Child / Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly / Diners / Bill Baird / FIDLAR / Colony House /

 

 

Additional Keywords : 2021, Monthly Playlist, January, New Music Friday, Daily Releases, Discover Daily
