Announcing On Separation, a new album by DC-based experimentalist Heather Stebbins

The album began as a reintegration of dormant musical practices, slowly shifting into a meditation on the nature of nostalgia itself.

I've already gotten two promos for 2025 releases with Patrick Shiroishi on them, both excellent. Gonna be a good year for that man.

It's the last day of the year, and I haven't used this site in a long time. Who says a new year's resolution can't be to spend more time on a new social media platform??

Anyway, here's my 69 top albums of 2024 in no order whatsoever
