My Favorites of 2018

As we make another trip around the wheel of life, let me take a moment to look back at some of the releases that made the year a little more bearable. Drumroll please (rimshot where necessary)…

  1. Landing – Bells In New Towns
    This band continues to amaze with each release, progressively fine tuning their own unique soundscapes. Well done.
  2. Ulrika Spacek – Suggestive Listening EP
    Probably my favorite new band of the moment – hoping for another full-length in the near future
  3. My Autumn Empire – Oh, Leaking Universe
  4. The Asteroid #4 – Collide
  5. Spiritualized – And Nothing Hurt
  7. Adrien75 – The Deep State
    Although Mr. 75 has released several albums last year, this is my fave of the bunch
  8. The Advisory Circle – Ways Of Seeing
  9. Chatham Rise – Meadowsweet
  10. Lazy Salon – Boot Magna
  11. A Year In The Country – The Quietened Mechanisms (Various)
