TOP 10 OF 2023
Good evening from crunchy California. The fine people at Brooklyn Vegan asked me to create a list of some of my favorite releases of 2023. This was a really fun thing to participate in. Here’s a link to the article. I’m curious if anybody has any other albums, songs, EP’s, podcasts, films, etc that they could recommend here in the comments? I’m always on the hunt for new things that inspire me. Electronically yours, Adam

Hey Adam, love the new EP, it’s really beautiful. Your taste seems pretty impeccable already so I’ll keep it brief, one album that went pretty well under the radar this year that I really enjoyed is Picturesque by an Austrian band called MOLLY, it’s kind of a post rock-y, overwhelming sort of thing that sweeps me away a bit. Their Bandcamp page describes it as somewhere between sigur ros and slowdive which makes sense. It’s very pretty and good for walks on cold nights
