Listening Recommendations
James and the Giants – S/T / I’m so torn right now. One of our kids just asked me to play the James and the Giants album and I had to tell him no because he hasn’t done the chores we asked. Parenting is hard. – Brent Thomas
Grouper – She Loves Me That Way / beautiful, stunningly beautiful….but almost UNCOMFORTABLY so – Petridisch
Flying Saucer Attack – Instrumentals 2015 / I felt like the response to this was muted at the time so I’m revisiting. Always a big fan of solo albums that sound truly “solo” aka sounds like a musician alone in a room – grimisham
William Tyler – Impossible Truth / Anyway, listening to this William Tyler album again and it’s still amazing. Gutted he cancelled his tour, but obviously for the best given the circumstances – Gavin Miller
