mitch A swirling orchestra of sound and emotion, sadness and joy, love and loss. Favorite track: You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Disaster.

Chester Whelks This album showered a flourish of candy coloured kisses onto my auditory cortex. It manages the enviable task of reconciling the worst of human emotion and experience with the greatest of them, while being a celebration of music itself. Bill would be proud. Favorite track: Chanteuse Raison d'etre.
