Been awhile. I’ve so much new music I’ve been enjoying and want to share (both indie/popular and in the classical new music realm) but have barely had the time and energy for the basic things I’m supposed to do, so blogging has very much not been a priority. I’m planning on catching up, though. Here’s … Continue reading Monday Mixtape 03/10/2022

Bad Love — Dehd This song is bad-ass. New to me, this band, but the opening bars definitely had me paying attention. Hurts to Love — Beach House (CW: flashing, pulsing lights) So far, 2022 has been a pretty Beach House year for me, non-classical/new music listening-wise. King of Sweden — Future Islands I always … Continue reading Wednesday Mixtape 23/02/22
There’s been an embarrassment of riches when it comes to great new music between Jan-Feb, I honestly don’t know where to start. Perhaps with the ones I loved best.
