We’re at mid-November now, so the onslaught of best-of lists and year-end recaps are just right around the corner. As I was putting together this latest installment of the FFFoxy Podcast, though, it occurred to me just how much incredible new music has recently come out or is slated to come out in the weeks ahead. There’s so much more out there waiting to be heard, but hopefully there are some new discoveries in here for you to take into consideration for your own “list”, however or wherever you compile such a thing, or maybe simply a few things to ponder while you’re drunkenly scoffing at the selections of your not-so-favorite music publications out there. Tis the season, you know! Under either the former or latter conditions, I know I’ll be spouting praise for the latest works from Heather Leigh, Sacred Product, Ignatz, and Seth Graham, not to mention the crucial reissues from Vincent Over the Sink and Departmentstore Santas. There’s plenty more to chew on here, too, and more in store in the weeks ahead, including a feature show with long-time favorite Pumice, who had joined us on the weekly Free Form Freakout show before the podcast was even an idea. Until then, hope you enjoy this new episode. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or comments.
