What are you listening to?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My album of the year has to be Lost Friends<\/a> by Middle Kids. I can\u2019t stop listening to it. The songwriting is great and I have luckily been able to see a number of their gigs lately and they are such a tight band. I am also totally on the bandwagon of loving the BoyGenius EP<\/a>. So good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you find new music?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I used to find a lot from blogs but now seems to be more via social media from the likes of Tone Deaf<\/a>, Consequence of Sound<\/a> and Pilerats<\/a>. I still check in on Pitchfork for some good writing. Likewise I also really enjoy Spotify curated playlists. The Discover Weekly playlist tends to through up some real treats and I frequently check in on my new releases playlist that is curated from other bands I listen to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Away from the digital realms, I find a lot of new music from going to gigs, music showcase (Melbourne Music Week<\/a> was great for this) and also festivals. I had only causally listened to Big Scary<\/a> before I went to Laneway Festival<\/a> in 2016 but since then they are a solid favourite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What formats do you usually listen to? LP, CD, Cassette, Digital, Streaming Service and why?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I listen to Spotify pretty much every day, mostly due to the nature of my work making me desk bound. I have CDs for my car that are mostly gifted to me by friends who no longer have CD players but think I would like their collections (pretty much all of them are right, though I have some duds) then at home I listen to LPs, since getting my own house it has been fun to go crate digging and find what treats I can get for $5. My collection is slowly growing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do you do most of your music listening?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mostly during the day at work, where I listen on headphones from my computer. Otherwise, I listen in the car, from CDs, the radio or hooking up my iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do find and listen to pre-release music?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pre-release on blogs or first listens on the radio mainly, Triple J<\/a> do a lot of first listens, so I will hear a lot of them when I am in the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your frustrations with listening to music digitally? Any benefits?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I get frustrated with ads which definitely led to me paying for Spotify because I use it so frequently. Similarly, I find it frustrating when I listen to a track forget to bookmark it and then can\u2019t find it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you keep track of everything you are listening to?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I create a lot of my own playlists on Spotify, favourite things on Soundcloud and try to bookmark articles about new music that I like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you tip other people off to new music? How?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A lot of friends ask me to make them playlists. So I set up public playlists on Spotify a lot for those situations. Otherwise, I send over links to blogs etc. Then more frequently I just drag them along to gigs with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anything you want to \u201cpromote\u201d?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I am also super excited for Angie McMahon<\/a> to release more material. She has a small handful of tracks about now so go have a listen if you can. Likewise, Jack River is amazing and I think she is going to go somewhere. Give her album Sugar Mountain<\/a> a listen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"template":"","tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nJen Pomphrey: Interview - #HowWeListen from Byta<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Jen Pomphrey shares how they find and enjoy their music in a digital age.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/byta.com\/howwelisten\/interview\/jen-pomphrey\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Jen Pomphrey: Interview -
