Iowa music playlists are at the heart of what drives villin.net. These playlists look to explore new releases from across the state, while also providing a look into the rearview by celebrating noteworthy local music from years gone by. Also, it’s worth noting that none of the collections here are meant to be completist, and they’re absolutely limited by the scope of subjective personal taste. If an artist (or an entire genre, for that matter) isn’t represented, that’s why. And rather than getting overly granular, they’re categorized by broad genre clusters rather than specific sub-genres or styles. If you like what you hear, please consider subscribing and following the individual playlists to stay on top of future updates.
