Monthly Roundup November 2017

Highlights of the highlights:

Impossible Nothing released an almost 4.5 hour long plunderphonics album rooted in hip hop that is wonderful to behold.

Sequoyah Tiger released an excellent electronic pop album in the vein of Panda Bear and Ann Steel.

Call Super released one of this year's best electronic albums by taking a look toward Jazz in a good way.

Tim Heidecker helped all of us Anti-Trump folk out by providing a lovely soundtrack to the cesspool of a man with his collection of Anti-Trump ballads done in a soft rock style.

John Dwyer dialed it way back and down with the newest album from his old OCS project. Bringing with him the acoustic guitars, this is not unlike a British folk album from the 70s!

Bjork finally released something I could truly enjoy since way back in 2001. This time around her collaboration actually feels like her old 90s collaborations, meaning this time she actually let Arca take the reigns and she is all the better for it.

Don't forget to check out the spotify playlist to go along with this list!
