About Us
Hello, I am Pawns or Kings and I curate playlists for Gothic Country, Indie Folk, Indie Country, Blackgrass, and Newgrass as well as NuGrunge, Garage Rock, Shoegaze, and Alt Rock. I am into music that is well produced but does not often utilize autotune. I like dark, downtuned, and emotional music that brings to mind music from the 90s and 2000s. My playlists have about 220k followers between them. I am also on social media where I promote and review music for my 600k followers.
