Faves of 2021 (Vol. 1)

Gotta say, these first number of months in 2021 have renewed my hope that things are slowly finding a new normal out there. At least in terms of new music, there's been a wealth of awesome stuff to pick from. It almost allows me to forget that there's a threat of a 3rd wave, plus an array of variants coming down the pike. Almost. And honestly, I'm not sure if we should be forgetting. There's rebuilding to do, restructuring, rethinking... and so much lost that needs to be remembered. But, at least, for the length of time it takes to play 26 faves we can all escape into simple appreciation.

RIP Gerry-Jen Wilson
