2018 In Review...

Another year another list. In keeping up with tradition, here's a compiled list of all the new releases posted on this blog from 2018. It's one last look back to catch up on any you might have missed or want to revisit before the year is out and we're starting all over again. This year has been an incredible one for music, with an insane amount of good albums coming out left and right. Let me know what some of your favourite releases from 2018 have been, and I'll have my usual Top 50 list out in a week or two. Also, since there's only so much I can keep up with, please let me know if there's any releases from this year that I haven't uploaded yet, and I'll try and get on them ASAP. Enjoy.

    1. Incredible album, but it was never featured in a typical post. Just a track premiere, so the whole thing was never uploaded. You can listen/download it here:
      https://infantisland.bandcamp.com/album/infant-island

      It's nothing short of amazing!
