2020 July – Sept: “I want something better. We all want something better.”

Despite the obvious slowdown in the music industry,
new releases are still trickling through.
Nothing groundbreaking as of yet this year, but beggars can’t be choosers.

It was sad to see all my concert tickets slowly get refunded, as the hopes for them being postponed a pipe dream.

However a bunch of new releases have distracted me enough.

The new Future Islands is worth a listen.

I’ve been looking forward to hearing the rest of Samia’s new album ever since she’s been teasing out some singles.

Phoebe Bridgers continues to delight me. Be sure to check out her Radiohead cover.

I can’t wait to get my hands on Idles new vinyl.

I’ve always been on the fence about Sufjan Stevens’ latest albums. Still listening to his overly long new release, but “Sugar” is already on my best of the year.

Speaking of best of, several albums are celebrating their 30 year anniversaries in September including:
Megadeth’s Rust in Peace
Godspeed you Black Emperor’s Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven.
Skinny Puppy’s Too Dark Park later this month.

All on my best of  the best list.

New Tunes from the past 3 months
