Not one, but THREE Expert Releases made this list. We are honored. Sometimes I feel like what I do gets ignored but this makes up for it. Seriously folks I’m putting out killer releases and you need to listen to them.

Here is my challenge for you. Once a week sit down and listen to an entire record (cd, tape, whatever). Listen to the whole thing, all the way through, uninterrupted. Digest it, study it. Don’t make it background noise, don’t listen to select tracks. The whole damn thing! How we used to do it.

Plosivs- “Yell At Cloud”
John Reis and Rob Crow, yep sign me up. Though I prefer their debut LP over this one. But it was a nice surprise to see this come out this year and it’s a great follow up. Plosivs is hot snakes meets pinback and I’m here for it.

Stereolab- “instant holograms on metal film”
The return of Stereolab and what a return. Sounds like they never really stopped. The artwork on this also fantastic. Bonus this was record by Columbia native and friend Cooper Crain and he killed it.

Tortoise- “Touch”
Forever a fan of Tortoise and a lifelong goal to see them live at some point. When the singles dropped I was a little unsure but as a whole record it works and confirms we should listen to records/albums as a whole and not singles.

Denude- A Murmuration of Capitalist Bees
I had the pleasure of co-releasing this with my friend Kevin (Dipterid Records). Members of piglet and murder in the red barn.
Midwest math-rock with a freshness to it. They unfortunately broke up after this came out.
