Looking back at the state of my music taste before 2017, it's clear to see that I did not listen to the most eclectic range of music.

Tom Misch, Courts, Nilufer Yanya and Hana Vu are all people I’ve found through NME (I would recommend the … Continue reading Tash Sultana – Flow State (2018)
First off, I have no credentials what-so-ever. I didn't do GCSE Music, I don't play an instrument and I can't sing. Any and all artists I talk about have infinitely more talent than I do.
