The albums you’d love, if only you knew they existed.

Every morning, Liner Notes hands you a few records chosen for your ears alone — mostly new releases, the odd forgotten classic — and tells you exactly why each one made the cut.

Why Liner Notes

Streaming gave us every album ever made. It forgot to tell us which ones to play.

Albums, not tracks

Records are made to be heard whole. We recommend albums, a handful at a time, never an endless feed.

Reasons, not guesses

Every pick shows its working: which of your ratings, which critics, how confident we are. If we don’t know, we say so.

Critics who hear like you

Liner Notes learns which publications agree with your taste, and quietly stops listening to the ones that don’t.

How it works

Three steps to your next favourite record.

Five minutes to start. Better every week you use it.

It gets sharper, every listen

Find the reviewers who hear what you hear.
