We’ve survived the first quarter of the year so I guess now it would only be fitting to share around favourite releases as of now, predictions for what’s to come, or any other interesting thoughts of the year so far.
Personally, I think the year’s been a bit slow compared to previous in delivering quality releases (though to be fair, i dont have anywhere near the amount of free time i had last year to really dig into new releases) but i’m still very hopeful for whats to come. and still though, a lot of interesting stuff’s been popping around lately especially when we’re talking about EP releases. anyways, I’m expecting something really stellar to come out of Colin Stetson, Actress, and Arca in the next month. also dying to get some sort of news on Black Metal 2 from Dean Blunt and the new Cindy Lee, probably my most anticipated projects this year.
