Best Albums of 2021
Throughout the ups and downs of 2021, music has been there. Here's a run down of my favourite 50 albums from a year in which I kept up to date with new releases for the first time in a very long time.
Snapped Ankles – Forest of Your Problems (2021) – Album Review
Forest of Your Problems maintains a high energy level throughout, with the band not missing a beat as they transition from post-punk, to wigged out synth jams to the funky, ‘The Prince is Back’.

Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica (2011). Oneohtrix Point Never is probably my most ‘ignored’ electronic artist of the last decade. Universally lauded, he seems to be held in very high regard wherever I turn online. I tried to listen to a couple of tracks some years ago to see what all the fuss was about … Continue reading 14/07/20 This week I have been mostly listening to…
