New on Harmonic: a special edition of “The Speechless Place” from Summer Winter! Summer invites listeners into the creative process with handwritten lyrics, a demo recording, behind-the-scenes videos, and more.

The new album Don’t Get Lost by Social Cinema is finally here! In our Liner Notes interview, @jefito.com talks with the band about songwriting, Buy Before You Stream, and what bands they’re listening to.

You don't hear many albums that feature the eight-string bass as a lead instrument, and fewer still that incorporate the mighty hum of the pipe organ. @jefito.com interviewed Peter Kerlin of Animal, Surrender!, discussing their new album (available tomorrow) and creating art honestly.

Is Tiny Vinyl the next collectible music product? Harmonic’s Jeff Giles (@jefito.com) interviews Neil Kohler and Jesse Mann of Tiny Vinyl for the latest installment of our Liner Notes series.

What artist does Harmonic co-founder George Howard (@gah650.bsky.social) most want to see on the platform? Bill Orcutt! Orcutt’s instrumental guitar compositions create a direct transfer of raw emotion from the fingerboard to the listener. Check him out!

For @harmonicfm.bsky.social , I was really excited to talk with Adam Levy of the Honeydogs about their new album, the excellent "Algebra for Broken Hearts" — and a whole bunch of other things: www.harmonic.fm/blog/liner-n...

For this week's Liner Notes, @jefito.com interviews Adam Levy of the Honeydogs. They talk about the band's new album "Algebra for Broken Hearts" and what releasing an album means in today's singles-dominated market. Read the full interview here: www.harmonic.fm/blog/liner-n...

Harmonic co-founder @drservantes.bsky.social shares his latest recommendation from Harmonic beta testers - "Whiskey & Wine" by Kirsten Kirk! A song that starts out folky and builds into something much more, it's another highlight of why we're building Harmonic.

Has the role of the critic changed over time? Harmonic's @jefito.com makes the case that music reviewers' jobs are now to act as sherpas rather than critics. What do you think?

A core part of Harmonic is our recommendation system, in which curators write recs for the music they love. We specifically call these “recommendations” not “reviews” because the role of curators should be to elevate art that connects with them, not discourage art that they don’t connect with.

Our latest Liner Notes interview puts the spotlight on @anniezaleski.bsky.social‬, who joins us to dig deep into her life as a music fan — and discuss some of the many ways music criticism has changed over the last 25 years: www.harmonic.fm/blog/liner-n...

If you follow Rae Isla @raeisla.bsky.social, you'll see her carrying her guitar through all sorts of wilderness - forests, canyons, creeks. In her Liner Notes interview, Rae shares where that love of nature comes from and how it inspires her art.

From this week's Liner Notes, Americana/folk artist Rae Isla @raeisla.bsky.social shares her three indie artist picks. Here's what Rae had to say about Irish artist Katie Phelan and her phenomenal song "Nothing Stays the Same."

Another pick from our beta artists - “I Worry” by Summer Winter. Harmonic co-founder George Howard (@gah650.bsky.social) describes how Summer beautifully captures the juxtaposition of hope and shame, both in the song’s lyrics as well as its arrangement.

Jeff Giles (@jefito.com) shares one of his top picks from our beta testers - Society of Rockets (@societyofrockets.bandcamp.com)! Full of tight performances recorded on vintage gear and mixed by hand, we've been thoroughly enjoying "Tough Trip Through Paradise."

We’ve been having fun discovering new artists in the Harmonic beta! Here’s one of cofounder George Howard’s picks of the week. Artists, our waitlist is now open! Join us here: www.harmonic.fm

Our latest Liner Notes interview is all about the marvelous @raxkingisdead.bsky.social, who joins us to talk about her great new book SLOPPY and recommend some of her favorite indie artists: www.harmonic.fm/blog/liner-n...

Join us in 2 hours (7pm ET / 4pm PT) for a virtual hang celebrating the Harmonic Beta release! Meet the team, get to see the future of our platform, and hang with other artists and music fans! More info here: lu.ma/t28ioztb

Streaming has changed our relationship with music — and not necessarily for the better. Our own @jefito.com weighs in on what it's cost us, and how Harmonic is trying to heal what's broken: www.harmonic.fm/blog/algorit...

Independent artists wanted! Harmonic is now available in private beta. Sign up for our waitlist, and we’ll reach out to show you what we’re cooking up. Join us: www.harmonic.fm

The Harmonic team has been working on this for months. We’re (finally) ready to bring artists onto the platform and start selling music. A big part of this beta is getting feedback from artists and music curators to build the platform they want to use.

Artists...we're ready for you! The Harmonic Beta is live. We're rolling this out in three stages, and the first stage is alllll about artists. If you're an artist with music to share and want your fans to be recommending it to other music fans, we want to speak with you!

Following many months of behind-the-scenes work, the @harmonicfm.bsky.social private artist beta is now open! We're actively seeking indie artists to help us test out a new kind music marketplace by uploading their work and offering feedback: www.harmonic.fm/blog/announc...

One of the founding principles of Harmonic is to ensure artists have a seat at the table as we make decisions about the platform. Even before we had an MVP, we brought on an artist advisor (the fantastic @raeisla.bsky.social) to bring an artist perspective to everything we’re building.

Every month, Harmonic advisor @raeisla.bsky.social leads an artist roundtable discussion on the business, philosophy, and craft of music. Last month, we discussed what makes a release "successful." Read a recap of the discussion and RSVP for the next event on June 16. www.harmonic.fm/blog/redefin...

“The facade of fairness in streaming and social media is crumbling.” Harmonic co-founder Dan Servantes breaks down why Spotify now withholds royalties from 87% of its catalog—and what it reveals about the true nature of today’s content platforms. www.harmonic.fm/blog/a-middl...

On streaming and social platforms, artists and fans are no longer seen—they’re used. We’re treated as data, mined for clicks and content, disconnected from genuine discovery.

Excited to launch the Harmonic blog with an article from artist and Harmonic advisor @raeisla.bsky.social! Rae talks about taking the road less traveled as an independent artist. Read it here: www.harmonic.fm/blog/notes-f...

Introducing Harmonic! ⚡️Recommend your favorite music by independent artists and get paid when someone else buys the music based on your recommendation. If you’re an artist, join the waitlist to be the first to have your music listed on the platform. More details coming soon. www.harmonic.fm

Big personal news: I’ve been working on Harmonic (@harmonicfm.bsky.social) - a music curation platform where people can recommend music they love and get paid when others buy it. It’s like building your own digital record store. Artists connect with new fans. Curators get rewarded for great taste.

Digital distribution has made it incredibly easy to hear music whenever and wherever you want — and hard as hell for artists to make a living with their art. Music journalists face a similarly harrowing uphill battle. So what are we going to do about it?
