I'm back! Still consuming music. Just not finding the time to do the writing. But in the early parts of July I thought I would share my favourite albums released so far this year. It was a hard choice to figure number one. Both the albums from Woods and Sharon Van Etten are fantastic, but in the end I settled for the brooding, complex amazing beast that is "Lost in The Dream". I have posted a recent performance to reinforce this opinion.
