2014 In Review...

So, it's that time of year again. That time to scrounge and scramble to listen to all music that was put out in the past year that you never got around to initially, but have to now properly construct your end-of-year best-of list. So, to make life easier, I figured I'd compile all the links for albums released this year in one massive post. This way if there's anything you missed or want to revisit, bam, it's right here. I will be posting my own best-of list soon, but for now feel free to share some of your favourites album and such, I'm really curious to know!

  2. Thank you so much! :)) ...you should check out new Gates full length album "Bloom & Breathe", it's really amazing, they toured with like half of the bands from the list above, but they stand out a lot with usage of post-rockish soundscapes etc.
