Featuring mind-blowing records from Kids On a Crime Spree, John Carroll Kirby, Kevin Morby, Cate Le Bon, Denzel Curry, Trick Mist, Sharon Van Etten, Marco Benevento, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Brothertiger.
Haha, Mr. Morby definitely picks other places to live outside of the norm with the move back to KC a few years ago. Definitely recommend going back to Harlem River and Singing Saw if you're digging the new one.
Brothertiger was a debate whether to give two spots or combine albums and I decided both records released this year are completely different and deserve their own spots. I'm sure you can imagine Fundies Vol. IV is in my upcoming top ten!

I had 'em both on there too, but the tie went to his S/T record. It was close, though. I had blurbs written for both, and there was a lot of cutting & pasting happening for a bit there... lol.
As for Memphis, I loved working at the airport, and my coworkers. The city itself? I'd be okay with never going there again.
Another killer list! I didn’t know a lot about Morby before he was on Song Exploder, but there’s something about the words to the title track the really got me. I was totally lost in thought. Only his describing his love for-and buying a house- in Memphis snapped me back to reality.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Brothertiger both make appearances on my list later this week. Was listening the video for “Torn Open” this morning. Pure escapist fantasy. It’s bleak up here today; it was just what I needed.
