I definitely heard “mouthfuck” the first time but quickly made the mental correction. That percussive outro on “Mad Woman” is one of my favorite things on either record, too Jenny is a singer songwriter. The songs are really emotionally affecting to me and it’s produced by Aaron Marsh, who’s one of my favorite producers alive, so it sounds warm and has tons of great little details. Honestly you should definitely listen cause she seems like a really small artist who could use a writer in her corner.
I will say that I genuinely like all the songs on both Taylor records. I just found myself a little more moved by evermore. And noted! I'll add it to my listening list.
Lots I haven't heard that I've been meaning to check out (Rina Sawayama, McCartney, Jason Isbell) and a few artists that I'd kind of forgotten about that I didn't know released new music last year (Lydia Loveless, Gabrielle Alpin), which is always exciting! Also intrigued by that Kylie album... I don't recognise these names at all (or I don't think I do anyway...). Anything in particular that you'd specifically recommend?
Lots of great stuff on there! Also a lot of stuff I haven't listened to. I still need to listen to that Phoebe Bridgers EP. I keep forgetting about it.
I'm always late with my list but here it is: 1. Lori McKenna - The Balladeer 2. The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form 3. Trevor Hall - In and Out Through the Body 4. Donovan Woods - Without People 5. Pvris - Use Me 6. Caitlyn Smith - Supernova 7. Anchor & Braille - TENSION 8. Haim - Women in Music Pt. III 9. Chris Stapleton - Starting Over 10. Babers - Making it Up 11. Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia 12. Hot Mulligan - you'll be fine 13. Taylor Swift - folklore 14. Vasudeva - Generator 15. Lydia - I Was Someone Else
2020 is the first year in a long time where I didn't sit down and make a list. It was too stressful of a year for me. That being said, Higher Power - 27 Miles Underwater was definitely my favorite release of the year.
I posted somewhere in here... still haven’t gotten around to making a list. But, Denison Witmer’s American Foresquare was my favorite album of 2020.
