EarToTheGround features emerging music primarily in folk and Indie rock. Our mission is to help fans find great new music and bands find great new fans!
We're still writing about #music and sharing our #passion. If you haven't seen anything from us for a while, try hopping over to follow us here: bsky.app/profile/eartothegro…
If you're not into that, you could always drop by the website and email sub: eartothegroundmusic.co
I wrote these lists right before the holidays and then got sick before I could promo them. Please take a look at the music that moved me to my soul this year.

Let's talk about work flow:
-as bloggers, we get a lot of submissions every day, usually between 40-60 new tracks every day
-the best way to ensure that we listen to your music is to send it on SubmitHub
-if you email your music or message us privately, we may not get to it 1/3
-if it's in our submission feed, we will get to it but we may not approve it
-the art of curation means that we have to say no to many so we can feature the few we believe in
-our current approval rate is around 6%
-that means we average around 350 subs and cover 21
2/3
-we do this work part time around our jobs as educators
-we try to write about these songs in short playlist articles so that the fans of those artists can find similar artist/genre/mood fits
-this is a labor of love and we do our best to meet deadlines and be semi-professional
There is so much good music in the world, y'all. I mean there's a lot of bad music too, but the good music more than makes up for it.
I listen to new music every day. I write about it several times a week. I still can't get enough. LOVE
Our articles don't auto share here anymore, but sometimes I pop on and share a few recent ones. Check them out if you like #newmusic and today especially I'm sharing a lot of #folk music.

If you're a fan of indie pop, I highly recommend this playlist. But also it's just so fun to go back and listen to these submissions from the past six months. AMAZING talent. FFO dodie, Lizzy McAlpine, etc.

Halfway through the year and we have a nice list of "song of the year" candidates going... but album of the year is lacking.
What #album has you floored this year? Genre be durned... tell me an album that is defining 2024 for you.
