2018 So Far :: 25 Albums + 5 EPs

Posted on July 4, 2018 by Very Warm

At the half, I can say with confidence that 2018 has been one of the strongest years in music I’ve experienced in a while, probably since 2015 or 2014. 2016 and 2017 were fine, but the amount of confidence I … Continue reading →

WV Playlist 004 – Essential Oil Dimension: An Olfactory Fantasy

Posted on June 17, 2018 by Very Warm

ESSENTIAL OIL DIMENSION: AN OLFACTORY FANTASY is a playlist based on a thought that came to me after seeing the band Destroyer. I couldn’t believe how tight the band was despite playing in these weird, spaced out grooves. The singer … Continue reading →

Sun June – “Underneath” [2018]

Posted on June 15, 2018 by Very Warm

Another great release today was Sun June’s Years, out on Keeled Scales. It’s a great, easy going singer-songwriter/folk record, also perfect for the summer like the Kevin Krauter song I posted earlier today. Check out my immediate favorite from the album, … Continue reading →

Posted on June 15, 2018 by Very Warm

Kevin Krauter (of easy, breezy, beautiful Indiana band Hoops) just released his new album Toss Up via Bayonet Records. It’s a lovely collection of songs that fits like a comfortable piece of clothing to wear this summer. My highlight of the … Continue reading →

Charli really cannot stop her hot streak she started back in 2017 with Number 1 Angel and Pop 2. This is what she’s calling the start of a series of releases from her for the year – count me as … Continue reading →

WV Playlist 003: Ecstatic Affluence – A City Pop Odyssey

Posted on June 11, 2018 by Very Warm

ECSTATIC AFFLUENCE: A CITY POP ODYSSEY is perhaps the thing I hold the most pride in from all my days as a “music curator”, if you can call me that. It’s a 50-song playlist of exclusively Japanese music centering around the … Continue reading →

WV Playlist 002: It Felt Good To Be Alone – Depression Soundtrack

Posted on June 7, 2018 by Very Warm

The second playlist I’ve made for Warm Visions takes a severe turn from the last one I made, Beach Ball Hell – A Summer Playlist. This one is not nearly as accessible and I don’t really recommend going into it while … Continue reading →

Recommended Albums: May 2018

Posted on June 4, 2018 by Very Warm

May was likely the biggest month of music in 2018. It seemed like every “major” record in my sphere was released. You’ll see that massive list of everything I listened to this month in addition to the ten records listed … Continue reading →

G Flip – “Killing My Time” [2018]

Posted on May 16, 2018 by Very Warm
