The Wild Honey Pie announced today that it is bringing back its music blog, stating that “algorithms and AI have completely hijacked the experience of music discovery, and we want to do our part to restore its human touch.”
The independent music site framed the revival as a return to human-curated discovery and community, moving away from algorithm-driven listening.
The announcement references the late-2000s blog era, when a smaller group of independent outlets shaped music discovery. Those included Brooklyn Vegan, Alter The Press, Alternative Press, and Property of Zack.
The Wild Honey Pie did not specify a launch date or editorial lineup. The site’s statement focuses on restoring a human perspective to music discovery and moving away from what it describes as an overwhelming, algorithm-driven environment.
