One of the longest-running independent online music magazines. Our writers include freelance music journalists and musicians; together, we’ve been championing intelligent, uncompromising voices in contemporary music since 2004 (including folk, jazz, ambient, and experimental genres).
KLOF Mag Selects
We also publish KLOF Mag Selects, a Substack Bestseller and companion publication. It is read by music lovers and music makers, such as Colin Meloy of The Decemberists, who said:
“I’ve learned about most of the music I’ve loved over the past couple years from the fine people at this publication.” — Colin Meloy (The Decemberists)
