Amy Bruce Spaceshow - 2016
Silent night. No holy sight. All is wrong and nothing's right. Come now hurry before I breakdown. There's no need to worry if you're not around. I'm caving from secrets I'm keeping and craving the peace I have sleeping.

unlove - light comes in, you're forever - 2016
tim neave This is lovely stuff. Enjoyed immensely. A slightly different musical temperament, and a willingness to try different approaches. Excellent Favorite track: david sorry.
astrid weatherfield wonderful bedroom pop mixed with some acoustic stuff and some other kinds of stuff. it's so good. ztapes is my favorite around these parts and i'm so happy they give artists like unlove these opportunities. please listen Favorite track: different colors.
Filip Zemčík lo-fi sad pop for your lonely evenings Favorite track: david sorry.
Will Seifert Peaceful and beautifully arranged with poetic and ethereal lyrics and an excellent vocal delivery; wonderful music. Favorite track: instagram witches & brand new grimoires.
Moon Moon Moon - Snow Humans - 2016
The Indie Rock Playlist asked Moon Moon Moon to write an intro for their December playlist, so I asked them if I could write a wintery-themed song and they said ok and then I did and this is the song.
Also, I added a fresh remaster of our 2015 Christmas song.
Grouper - Paradise Valley - 2016
Niccolo Brown If the swallows really HAVE sharpened their beaks; if the chariots of angels really ARE colliding ... then I ... I AM captured... Love me. Destroy me. Raise me. Ruin me. You're all I need but I'm never enough. No words, just thoughts. Only YOU.

Clara Engel - Your Halo is a Swarm of Bees - 2017
Six lovely guitar improvisations by Clara Engel on limited CD-R, for fans of Loren Connors, Harold Budd & Neil Young's instrumental works.
"Your halo is a swarm of bees" features me improvising on electric guitar one afternoon and hitting "record" on a field recording device. These lo-fi unpremeditated sounds chronicle my mind's movement as I wade through the demoralizing dregs of 2016.
My guinea pigs were napping peacefully in the next room the whole time I was playing, so this recording is dedicated to them."

Best of 2016… Songs for Walter
After years of gracing the various backstreet and basement stages of his hometown, Manchester’s Laurie Hulme finally releases his debut album.
A hotch-potch of homespun folk and ramshackle acoustic pop, Songs for Walter is the eponymous tribute to the singer’s late grandfather. LB

Best 0f 2016… Dope Lemon - Honey Bones
There’s a real Dylan vibe to Dope Lemon, the new Angus Stone project, which has just offered up its debut album, Honey Bones. Like Bob Dylan many years before him, Stone has sidelined the acoustic folk/roots material and gone (somewhat) electric. But that’s not the end of the similarities: there’s something Dylanesque about Stone’s laconic, sometimes meandering vocal delivery style, and also in the unadorned sketches of his songwriting. UP
What was the inspiration behind beginning the Dope Lemon project?
It was pretty unmapped, I had a bunch of friends around at my place and everything was set up. We’d have a few drinks and just step into the studio. Someone would start strumming a chord and someone would sit down at the piano and someone would sit at the drums and we were just recording the whole thing. Later on I’d go back to it and pick out what was good. It was just a cruisy session that became something really cool.

Cœur de pirate - Chansons tristes pour Noël - 2016
tous les bénéfices seront versés à la fondation le phare enfants et familles
Take Your Time - Sleep In / I Feel It Every Day - 2016
‘Sleep In’ is about loving and believing in your pals. It’s really heartbreaking seeing your friends/loved ones struggle and be mistreated, when you know that they’re full of potential and deserve better – ‘Sleep In’ is like a big warm embrace for your loved ones, letting them know that you’ve got the time to give them what they need.
Gobbinjr - Vom Night - 2016
Bedroom pop encompasses such melodies that wrenches at the heart - the closeness is felt deeply in this release… it has it all, real female voxs void of any pretence, foundation synth drums, and just the right amount of electronic experimentation inside standard song structures. Outstanding!
One more time…

Best of 2016… Hamilton Leithauser + Rostam - I Had a Dream That You Were Mine
The pairing of the Walkmen's Hamilton Leithauser and former Vampire Weekend producer/instrumentalist Rostam Batmanglij turns out to be an inspired one. pitchfork
The fingerpicked “In a Black Out” pulls away some of Rostam’s production theatrics, leaving an exposure of the big idea. It’s Leithauser, two acoustic guitars, and backing vocals, a deep elegy into which to sink. CoS
