There was so much that happened in 2015. Looking back it all kind of washes together into some kind of life-stew. My recollections morph into a territory similar to tangible feeling rather than specific memories. I am grateful to be able to experience so much creativity all around me. I think that there was so much amazing music happening in 2015 that it was hard to narrow everything down into a list. I compiled some of my favorite releases of 2015; there is no hierarchy, it is just some albums that I enjoyed listening to. I divided the list into vinyl albums and cassette tapes, and included a link to where these sounds can be found. Definitely explore these artists and the labels that are releasing their work, so much good music out in the world. I have definitely forgotten so much and I am making attempts to remember more in 2016.
