It seems each week you expose me to 5 new bands and artists! I consider myself voracious in my new music discovery, but clearly it's just the tip of a giant iceberg.

Like Mark, I liked tracks 2 and 4 best. Probably the retro, up-beat vibe connected most. I did play the Skinshape album, but none of the other tracks were at the same level as "The Longest Shadow." It was more reggae folk. I think you found the best song. Gotts Street Park also grabbed me, but again, playing the album, "Got To Be Good" stands out as the best song.

Five lovely selections here Stygi! I’ve been very much leaning into soft and soothing music this week as one of my close friends lost his battle with cancer and I’ve kind of dipped back into the depression I thought I’d managed to leave behind in 2023. But I know this too shall pass. And in the meantime I’m finding comfort in music. I voted for #2 but also really resonated with #4 and #5. I’ve added all three albums to my “Late 2023” playlist for further evaluation. Too late to be considered for my AOTY list this year but they may end up being “2023 Misses” by the time my 2024 AOTY list rolls around. Thanks for the great musical selections!
