Looking forward to the new Saltland, Jesca Hoop (wasn't wild about her duo project, but this is promising), and Lydia Ainsworth. Finally got a physical copy of Emma Ruth Rundle's Marked for Death after having bought the files from bandcamp. Such a great album! And traded for Bat For Lashes' The Bride. I like about half of it a lot, but the other half leaves me cold, sadly. Cheers, all. - --Neile > On Jan 28, 2017, at 9:16 PM, JoAnn Whetsell wrote: > > Recently discovered two 2016 releases that I'd missed. > > > Jonatha Brooke - Midnight.
