Less for More

15 albums a month from artists that you’ve never heard of (and likely never will) for $6/mo.

Excuse me?

Hey guys! There have a 1-page write up about the artist! Isn’t that amazing?!

Thanks for giving Cantilever a try. A lot has changed since you wrote this: we now add a new album every day, thirty a month, and many come with audio interviews and video alongside the written editorial. Discovering artists you haven't heard of yet is very much the point!

Love it, but experiencing issues

No criticism on the concept itself, but the app hasn’t worked for the last several days.

Sorry about this — you caught us mid-transition! A major update (1.6.2) shipped the day after your review that rebuilds the app and resolves exactly this. Please update and give it another listen — and if anything's still off, email support@cantilever-music.com and I'll sort it personally. — Aaron

Future favourite?

Cool concept, but so far I feel that the scope of the curation is too narrow. Maybe it’s intentional, but going through each album on the list it all feels too close together, like part of the same radio broadcast. And as a fan of heavier music styles, I struggled to find anything with any real musical intensity.

Wonderful Music Discovery Tool

I love using Cantilever as a tool for music discovery. Most of the albums are new for me and very much outside my usual preferences. The selections are generally wonderful and very interesting. I add almost every album to my Apple Music library. The articles are also very good and enhance the listening experience. I like to read the articles as I listen to the music with my daughter. We read the articles together and talk about the music, which is wonderful. I would only change two things. First, it would be great if I could change the text size of the articles so the text is bigger and easier to read. Second, I don’t see any way to select how I want to output the music. Sometimes I am listening to the music on my headphones and my daughter es t to listen too. But I cannot easily switch to a Bluetooth speaker or my Sonos system. Aside from those two small problems the app and the music service are perfect. I’m very pleased.

Hi there, thank you very much for your very thoughtful response. We will look into both text sizing and options on audio output. Any further issues, queries or suggestions please get in touch at support@cantilever-music.com

Great way to ditch the AI slop and corporate greed. Music lives!

Streaming giants allowing AI slop onto their platforms was the last straw for me. Cantilever is a modern way to listen to music like we used to. To slow down and feel what’s gone into albums rather than the continuous noise and parade of dopamine hooks that come from corporate pushers.
