favorite releases of 2020
Postcards from misplaced time: part one
Rankings and write-ups feel a bit exhausting this year, so I’m treating this end of year list as a motion art newsletter installation. I’m still searching for a time and place to associate a lot of this music with, so I’ve named the installation Postcards from misplaced time. This is part one in a series and focuses on stabilizing music (solo piano, ambient, singer-songwriter, modern classical). Part two will focus on stimulators (hip-hop, experimental electronic, pop, etc.). If you want to preview some of this music before jumping into full releases, you can find a playlist link at the bottom of the page. If you have favorite releases from this year that aren’t covered here, I’d love to hear about them! Hope everyone is finding some time to relax and wind down. Take care <3
