January is typically slow, but two releases stood out to Jason this week: Big Sigh by Marika Hackman and Penalty of Leadership by Boldy James.
I have to be honest: I had a different experience of the 2023 musical landscape than Jay – it was hard for me to find any anything to really settle into, anything that moved me, or anything that shocked me in a way that was wholly new. Nevertheless, here’s my top albums of the past year, in no particular order, because I don’t think they’re really comparable.
There weren’t many new releases this week, but SPRINTS new album Letter to Self stood out and I think it will be one to remember this year.
Happy New Year from Crucial Tracks. With 2023 in the books, we have a few updates for the coming month and year. Including a RECORD GIVEAWAY for email subscribers.
