Where do you find all those songs in the first place? Most of these are very off radar for me but have great production.
Lots of going back and getting up to speed on new tracks from artists I've liked in previous years, plus a fair amount of rabbit holing on Spotify itself. I wish I still had time to scour blogs, but a) I don't and b) so many blogs are just dumping grounds for free PR mp3s or soundcloud links now.
Oh, and also soundcloud. Rabbit holing on there is usually productive.

I'm enjoying H. Hawkline's new song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrqphXJZqS8
He's like a poppier, more high-strung Cate Le Bon, which makes sense since she plays on all his albums and he plays on all her albums (and they play in each other's live bands).

Young Marco's compilation on his own Safe Trip label, Welcome To Paradise (Italian Dream House 89-93) is highly recommended. The vinyl's long sold out (although is getting reissued I think) but you can get both volumes digitally for just £8 on Amazon

Yeah, I just listened to this ^ over the weekend and it's fantastic. More "streamlined" I guess than her older stuff, but more in my wheelhouse.

I'm about to dive headfirst into a bunch of albums that I've been neglecting due to a stressful couple of months (Kendrick, Betty Who, New Pornographers, Mountain Goats), but since I haven't done one of these since the end of January, here are some tracks that I've been collecting since then:

My faves up to now:
Aimee Mann - Mental Illness (return to form)Girl Ray - Trouble (those harmonies, song of the year up till now)Hauschka - What If (exciting piano music in between classic, jazz and ambient)Joan Shelley - s/t (calm, understated, glowing)Juana Molina - Halo (twisted is the word that comes to mind to describe this music)The New Year - Snow (perfect chillout album)Pumarosa - The Witch (London indie rock that kicks ass)Tinariwen - Elwan (nicely meandering Sahara blues)

Tarantula Wallpaper, Dracula Screensaver is the debut album from Danish band Starcrash and I am loving it - it's kinda classic rock/power pop with indie sensibilities, I'm thinking fans of Teenage Fanclub and perhaps Flaming Lips will be into it. Unfortunately I can't find much info about the band and I haven't read a single review of the record. But so far it's one of my 2017 faves.

I can't decide if "Ross from Friends" is one of the mostobnoxious or one of the best names I've seen this year.

Ross from Friends is the kind of band name that makes me want to punch a kestrel. See also Scott and Charlene's Wedding.

I sampled his/their latest EP just to see if it sounded like the character's hilarible sound effects collages from the series, and it only sorta did a little bit.
