I spent the first half of the year doing a lot of travelling and the second half working mostly oblivious to what was going on in the music world. Let's be having your favourites of the year.
Struggling to think of anything new I listened to this year. This one's pretty nice - great vocals and Kurt Vile's possibly the best guitarist going.
I had a listen to some of their stuff, and I'm afraid I'm not entirely sold. They're alright. Must have had a recent song out on Radio 6 but can't remember what it was or if I liked it. I'm sure I'll hear a track by them sometime in the future and go, who's that? I know that. That's really good.
I'm pleased to learn that she/they are Canadian anyway. I thought she was American. Not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with being American, just that Canada is better. Peter Kernel are from Canada (and Switzerland) and have a new album out this year which I'm anticipated will be awesome. I like mountains.
