Sorting Through Browser Tabs: April Playlist
Record Room: Wednesday, 4/29
April’s end is upon us!
This round of track selections will take well over two hours to listen to and features some wild excellence from Otoboke Beaver, Horse Lords, .gif from god, PALMER DE TROYA, and BIG | BRAVE, plus some deep moments from Ed O’Brien, Eve Maret, and SUSS. It may be obvious from how lengthy this collection is that editing down wasn’t easy for me, so I do hope that what I’ve chosen to share generates intrigue.
As always, links are included with each track should you feel inclined to send a dollar or more out to the artist responsible, perhaps buying the single or the album from whence it came.
All of the music featured below is available as playlists via Apple Music and YouTube. Or, you can simply scroll through this post and click PLAY.
