Among all streaming services, the best one to discover new music tailored exactly to your taste, is Deezer. Most of new artists I've discovered in recent years were by listening to Deezer's Flow and Daily mixes. The worst service to discover new music that you like, is Tidal. No matter what genres/artists/songs I like, add to favorites, Tidal keeps recommending me crap like Jay-Z and Taylor Swift...

Royal Blood. A rock duo, no guitar, only bass and drum. They are actually quite famous, so it feels strange I just heard about them...

One of the themes of this thread is folks missing out on artists that have been around a long time and then "discovering" them. I have a story like that.

Somehow I missed the first 15 years of this band, and then spent the next 5 obsessing with them: Hot Chip. I noticed they get nary a mention in these forums but their music is definitely worthy of the finest gear. Electronic sounds are the core of their music, but there's lots of instrumentation as well, including the steel drums. (Guitarist Al Doyle, splits his time between Hot Chip and LCD Soundsystem) Lyrics are upbeat and fun and there's hooks galore. I love em. I hope you might too. It's a big discography, so here's some sample tunes (chronological order).

Live version of this, 'cause it's a slow burn and I hope you give it a chance here and then give the album version a go...


This is the quintisential hot chip song. From their second album.


If you make it through the first min and half of this the hook will possess you


The video is worthy of all it's WTFness


Their next album is chock full of qality, but I suppose Flutes has got to represent, here's a live version (album version)


Oddly named track


And finally from the last record


Enjoy Hot Chip!

Chris Potter is a recent discovery for me. His album "There is a Tide" came up in my Tidal recommendations and I love it.
