Year End "Best Of" Lists

Its the time of the year where lots of websites and publications solicit year end best of lists from artists and labels. So since i’m a new “publication” and its that time of year, I figured why not! Some of these will be lists of records my friends enjoy that aren’t necessarily from 2022. Most of them will be however. I’m just going to post them randomly rather than waiting for a big massive list. Easier to digest this way i think. The idea is to give you the ability to easily listen and purchase these albums. Advocating for new music is a big mission for me and something people said they wanted in this newsletter.

First list is from the main man from the Woodford Halse label, Mat Handley.
