With all of the snow days that we’ve been experiencing around these parts over the past few weeks, it has given me plenty of time to listen through a bunch of music that has been piling up in the Free Form Freakout bunker. Fortunately, there was a little window of opportunity for me to make my way across our snow-packed town to record this installment for you, and it’s filled with quite a bit of the material I’ve been sitting down with of late. So, I’m excited to be sharing this with you this time around. Included are great new albums from Leighton Craig, Terrine, Tim Presley’s White Fence, Richard Youngs, Lucy Railton, and some essential reissues from the likes of Jon Hassell, Laurie Spiegel, Åke Hodell and more. 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.
