I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather over the past few days, so hopefully the talk breaks don’t sound even more scatterbrained than usual on this episode. I wanted to keep things on track with the podcast, though, this time focusing mostly on a bunch of newer music that has arrived in the past month or two. Of the lot, I’ve been particularly smitten by the latest works from personal favorites like The Lentils, Map 71, Justin Meyers, Talugung, and Fossils. I’ve also been impressed by the releases from new-to-me artists like Klimperei & Éric Chabert, CVN, and Dreamboat. There’s simply a lot of great, wide-reaching sounds featured within this installment. If I had more energy I’d go on a bit more, but I don’t, so I’ll let you just give it a spin and see for yourself. Hope you enjoy this new episode. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or comments. Thanks for checking in with us.
