We want to help you find talented artists, naturally
Everyone invested in music wants to find the next artist for their rotation. We also want the artists who deserve recognition to get it. Finding unknown artists is this site’s whole purpose. We want to find artists that cater to your music taste in a way that is natural, giving these artists an authentic audience.
Most of the songs and artists featured on this website are different types of alternative artists. Whether it’s Electronic Rock or Indie Folk, there’s a large range of artists that can be covered here. One of the things we enjoy most about this is that it’s not a new music page. New music will be covered sometimes, but the best part about smaller artists is going back through the years and uncovering their best works.
How do we find the right music for the right person?
Going on hunts for music can be extensive and time-consuming. We find artists who complement each other’s sounds. Their influences, contributors, collaborators and potential smaller artists who exist within the same niche. Starting on this page, you’ll have some bigger artists to find your sounds. As time goes on, you’ll delve deeper into other artists.
Not every artist on this site is for everyone, which is why we encourage people who are new to the scene to make sure they try different niches to find their sound. Many artists use overlapping genres, but often come out with an entirely different sound.
The picture above is the 2022 album ‘Duality’ by Luna Li. An amazing entry-level introduction to the dream pop genre, with a few grander elements thrown in. An example would be ‘Silver Into Rain‘ with a feature from Beabadoobee.

We recommend that people start by finding their favourite genres. Above, we have written up an overview of each one of these genres; each image will take you to it. There are subgenres within these, but it’s a good place to start. This site generally focuses on different types of alternative music, and these subgenres cover a lot of ground. Sometimes we have to make an exception for different genres if the song is that good though.
Artists we think you should start out with
Similar to the genres, we have articles talking about our favourite artists, and why they stand out. Each image will take you to these overviews, where you can begin to find your style. These articles include standout tracks, artist backgrounds, hand picked playlists, and more. These are slightly larger artists whom we view as prominent figures within their subgenres. Some of them have emerged recently, and others had their breakout further back.

Overview
Title: Multiplied
Released May 6th 2026
Multiplied is the first single released by Luna Li since 2024. After the 2025 release of the reimagined ‘When A Thought Grows Wings’, the artist remained active on socials, but this is part of a potential new album cycle. At the time of writing, there has been no explicit confirmation of this. However, given the distinct art styles of each project, we can see this single has taken a turn from the last album.
Luna Li
New release
‘Multiplied’ talks is a song about identity. The bittersweet journey of relationships. Luna embraces the reality that intentions shift, even if not through a conscious decision. A person’s outlook on life and their true desires can be enough to drive that wedge. Hence why the song has that bittersweet tone. Looking back at past relationships with people you loved and the positive memories you had, but knowing that, circumstantially, things had to change. One of the opening lines ‘But I look in through the window, when I’m feeling strong’, directly shows how even though things had to change, it isn’t easy embracing it. Another sentiment of the song is that sometimes it’s better to bite the bullet and make that decision than try and hope for the best outcome. Holding onto something doesn’t guarantee it will end any better, as Luna says in the song, ‘I couldn’t if I tried’.
Outside of the strong lyrical performance, the production doesn’t stray too far from her traditional palette. It feels a little more grounded, especially given the lyrical content. In comparison to ‘Duality’, it doesn’t have as much of a hazy, dream-like atmosphere. I think this works in her favour here, and makes a cohesive listen. We get some very interesting drum-work in the second half of the track, and details like this reduce the chance of fatigue when relistening. Classical instruments remain an influence on her work, pairing them with support from varying synth elements. Overall, the track delivers some of her strongest lyrical work, accompanied by fitting production that isn’t trying to take the spotlight.
