Hey Death Cab friends,

Wanted to tell you a little about a project of mine. I have personally always felt that sharing the music I love was the best way to express myself. Especially better than all the selfies and self promotion you see on instagram, or controversial takes on X. So I built an app called Corus (Corus.fm) where it's more pure and simple. You post your favorite songs instead of images and videos, you follow friends and curators and end up with an always updating feed of songs hand picked by people. I think it’s a much more enjoyable way to find new music, compared to the soulless algorithms that we’re mostly all used to at this point.

I would love for all of you to check it out. As you can see here, today Death Cab started trending with a post by a user whose username is literally "deathcabforcatie" haha. The love for the post is so nice to see, and from here you can see anyone else who has shared the song. Soon too you'll be able to see all users who have shared any Death Cab song so you can connect with them

Follow me "@gabe" and share your username and I’ll follow you back. Also, if you post Death Cab, the app will automatically connect you to Death Cab fans which is pretty cool.

I hope you enjoy and feel free to ask any questions at all. Much love.

Hey Bjork fans!

I have always felt that sharing the music I love was the best way to express myself. Especially better than all the selfies and self promotion you see on instagram these days. So I built an app called Corus (Corus.fm) where you post your favorite songs instead of images and videos, you follow friends and curators and end up with an always updating feed of songs hand picked by people. I think it’s a much more enjoyable way to find new music, compared to the soulless algorithms that we’re mostly all used to at this point.

I would love for all of you to check it out. As you can see here, today Bjork started trending with trash sleeper’s post, and the comments are amazing too.

Follow me @gabe and share your username and I’ll follow you back. Also, if you post Bjork, the app will automatically connect you to Bjork fans which is pretty cool.

I hope you enjoy and feel free to ask any questions.

I feel like every year I forget about Modest Mouse and then something triggers it and it makes me go back and listen to everything all over again. This time it was from seeing so many people on Corus (Corus.fm) post their different favorite songs. So beautiful to see all the love and people sharing their favorite lyrics such as the ones from Trailer Trash. You all should come join and check it out.

Beach house is incredibly meaningful to me. This album, Teen Dream, got me through some tough times and showed me that real beauty exists.

For most of my life I've felt that the music I love is a better representation of who I am than any selfie or reel or BS self-promotion I can share on Instagram. So I built an app that I felt embodied how I want to express myself: through the art I love.

It's called Corus (Corus.fm) and Walk in the Park is TRENDING on it right now! So so so cool to see all the love for Beach house out there. This is the sort of thing I feel like I just dont get from spotify or the big-tech options out there.

So I just wanted to show this to you all and invite you to come hang out and share your favorite beach house tracks for us all to listen to and talk about. <3

Hi all,

I just wanted to invite you wonderful Alex G fans to join Corus.fm - an app on iOS, Android and Web. It’s all about expressing yourself by posting the music you love. Imagine instagram except instead of selfies and videos, it’s only music.

I would love for you all to join, post your usernames, and let me know what you think!

The social music app is back under the name Corus. Announcement here: https://corus.fm/announcements/launching-corus

Basic idea: share the music you love and curate your profile. Follow others and get a playable feed (Spotify/Apple Music). Comment like and find others who love the same music. No ads, no ai slop, no algorithmic feeds that pigeonhole your taste. Just a good community full of music lovers.

App relaunched under the name Corus (Corus.fm).

I’ll keep this short. I think social media can be better, especially for music lovers. Instagram/TikTok hurts to use. Corus (Corus.fm) is only about sharing what you love, and following people to get an instagram-like feed of their favorite music, integrated with Spotify/Apple. A lot of us on the app love Mac. You're sincerely all welcome to come join the listening party!

:)

P.S. 10 years ago I made the app Cymbal with some friends, you might remember it. Had to shut it down due to money problems sadly. Now I'm hoping to do things a little differently, this time solo. No ads, no ai slop or manipulative algorithms. Happy to answer any questions if there are any :)

Okay, it’s not ONLY for sharing CW. BUT, hear me out.

I think social media can be better, especially for music lovers. Corus (Corus.fm) is about sharing what you love, and following people to get an instagram-like feed of their favorite music. It connects to Apple Msuic and Spotify. A lot of us on the app love Cameron. When you post him, you’ll see the others than love him too. So come join us, fetch the bolt cutters (of Instagram’s chains) and let me know what you think!

I DON’T WANNA LIVEEEEE. I DON’T WANNA TO GIVE YOU NOTHINNNN

Hi r/music!

I'm very excited to let you all know about the launch of Corus, available on the App Store, Play Store, and Web.

12 years ago, I launched Cymbal with a few close friends. Unfortunately due to financial issues, we had to shut it down. A lot has changed since then: Music discovery has become nearly fully driven by algorithms, and social media as we know it shows us ads every 10 seconds and is getting more and more filled with AI slop. There simply isn't a good home to be social around the music we love. So I'd like to give it another shot. With Corus, I want to push back in the other direction.

On Corus you share music (and film) you love. You curate your profile, so that it’s the perfect representation of who you are. You follow friends (and strangers) and get a live chronological feed of their picks. You can tap to play the songs, export to Spotify, or play the songs fully with Apple Music within the app. Soundcloud is supported too. As you post, Corus will find other users that have a similar taste to you, by showing you users who have shared the same songs/artists. You can like/comment/repost just like other social media. The important thing is that it’s a place where it’s all about what you love, not about what you hate like other platforms. It’s a celebration of art and of what you feel in the moment. Art is just better when it comes from real people.

I would love for the r/music community to give it a go and give feedback. I hope this can be a project driven by musicians and music lovers. My first goal is to keep the app up forever and pay for the servers, but later on I hope it can be a space for musicians, curators and DJs to make money as well.

Thank you so much,

Gabe
