Awesome list, Jared! Can’t wait to give a bunch of these a listen. One album I’ve been totally stuck on is Wisp’s “If Not Winter”… I’ve been in a shoegaze phase lately!
I’ll second the inclusion of Winter here! I wasn’t really in the mood to hear it when it first came across my radar, but it took about 10 seconds to change my mind.
Other picks this week have included Dar Williams’ new one, The Beths, and San Gabriel.
Essex Honey is absolutely awesome, and I can’t wait to listen to Adult Romatix! That one has come up on my Spotify recs more times than I can count and I, admittedly, judged the book by its cover and falsely assumed it was a pop album in which I wouldn’t have much interest. As a huge shoegaze/dream pop fan, I’ll definitely be giving this one a listen on your recommendation (not Spotify’s)
I knew I could count on you to be on top of that Ryan Davis album - one of my faves this year!! I’m still working through this list, but, as usual, impeccable taste.
Slowly making my way through this list and loving it, Jared! So much good stuff in here with some new discoveries for me: Kokoroko, OK Cool and Blood Orange. But I have lots left to dive in to and I already know it ends on a high note as I love the Beths. Thanks for this!
Liked the Shallowater and Ryan Davis stuff.
Time to feast indeed, you have great taste, Jared! This time, I knew one out of 12, so mine must be improving! Lol
Haha! I think Blood Orange may be my favorite of the year, interested in your thoughts :)

I loved last year's Pandora EP, didn't even know about this new album, I'm gonna give that a spin right now!
The new Big Thief record is incredible...I still haven't been able to find my socks yet
Lol. I'm hoping to listen this weekend!
Incredible list, as always

The Liquid Mike is going to be really easy to listen to two or three times in a row.
Sounds like a helluva Saturday to me.

Those are both new names to me, thanks as always Kevin!
That Dar Williams album art is a beaut
Right on! Hope you dig both of ‘em.

Let me know your thoughts, I think you'll dig it!
The Ryan Davis album has knocked my socks off. I also hear John Prine and Van Morrison in the DNA
Great call, Neil Young Crazy Horse coming to mind too, so good!
That Kokoroko album is so good!
