It's been so heartwarming to see the recent Ecto messages coming through. Ecto has been such a big part of my life since college, discovering countless artists I would never have heard, working on the Ectoguide, meeting some of you in person... I've continued to listen to lots of music and been to lots of concerts in the last few years. I think music (live and recorded) will always be a huge part of my life. I was also thrilled that Emily Bezar released a new double album this month, Vista, available on Bandcamp: https://emilybezar.bandcamp.com/album/vista. I've only had a chance to listen to it once so far but found it devastatingly beautiful. Happy listening to everyone!
