‘I think it’s a genuinely brilliant and exciting time for music right now’: Founder of streaming start-up Cantilever wants to put album-listening back on the map — this is how he got his start, and why there’s a ‘particular time and place’ for algorithms

When it comes to intentional listening, the algorithmic foundations of music platforms can sometimes reduce the joy that comes with listening to complete bodies of work. Enter Cantilever, the audio service that’s putting album-listening first.

Though it’s a relatively new addition to the pool of music streamers, Cantilever wants to make a difference with its approach. For £4.99 / $5.99 / €5.99 a month, the platform lists 10 albums each with a 30-day expiration date to encourage full-length listening, filling out the space with detailed accounts of each record from music journalists, on top of a user-centric payment system for artists.
