I’ve got another jam-packed installment for your this time around filled with selections from several of my favorite contemporary artists and labels. There are lots of new and notable releases to sift through and to talk up, including material from the David Nance Group, Mountain Movers, MP Hopkins & Mark Harwood, Spirit Fest, and Terry, not to mention a stellar, expanded reissue of Massimo Toniutti’s Il Museo Selvatico on Black Truffle. There’s rock; there’s pop: there’s the unclassifiable. I hope you enjoy this new episode. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or comments. As always, thanks for looking and listening.
