EP 51. Our Favorite Albums of 2021

Please join us for our second annual attempt to recall the new music we liked in 2021. Not a "best of list" - who are we to decide what is best - rather these are our favorite albums we heard this year. Not a comprehensive list by any means. For one it takes time to simmer, to establish a reputation. That early euphoria can fade, and uncovered gems could reveal themselves years later.The artists that produced many of the albums we discuss in the episode are listed below.
