My list of favorite music from this year. Anyone who I have liked in the past that released something that didn’t stink up the room goes on there. This list is mostly dedicated to underappreciated releases that need more exposure. The records that probably also appear on NPR lists and the such, are records that I think are at least attempting something interesting, which is all I can ask for in these fallow days.
