Introducing WAVELENGTH, a community listening party for highly anticipated albums…

Why:

When a new album drops...

Some feel inundated by a stream of hot-takes and watch as public consensus is shaped by which side is loudest...

We also feel that the independent curator isn't as trustworthy as they once were, or rather their taste is also tainted by this public consensus...

What:

Tonight we're experimenting with the idea of "decentralized curation" at FSR.

The idea is to invite listeners to play an album straight through, blindly submit their ratings, and then discuss it as a group...

Then we’ll combine the ratings and opinions of the group into a community consensus review in an effort to present an opinion that is diverse in perspective and less prone to bias.

When:

We're starting with Tyler, The Creator's new album Chromakopia at 8 pm ET and our review will live on factory.fm 

If you'd like to join this experiment you can RSVP for the listening session which we've named "WAVELENGTH" here: https://lu.ma/ly47gbm0

If you made it to this point you may be thinking, “Wait, how y’all just gonna e-mail us out of the blue and not mention where you’ve been at”…

We’ll be resuming our normal newsletter this week and hope to catch you up on some things within the community, stay tuned!
