Dronea, Dronea is a blog covering everything from psychedelic folk to ambient pop music which goes well with the cool blue background. When coming across a new blog it's a nice surprise to find a lot of artists I like featuring in the user's Last.fm window which, among other things featured Ben Frost who's release of 'By The Throat' is starting to turn a lot of heads.
However whilst you won't find that on this site, you can find some amazing artists on the front page. The writing is another high point of the site as rather than purely relying on little bits of information written by the artists, or found on press releases, the Dronea team pen their own evocative descriptions, which illustrate well what each release is about without coming across as over wrought or contrived.
Some of my favourite picks from the front page include music from Xela/Grouper two of my most revered Type signings. Improvisational drone from Final and imaginative celestial sounding ambient drone from Aidan Baker & Noveller.
