“Microphones in 2020” is a 44:44 song/album in which Phil Elverum recounts the story of his life early in his music career. It’s sprawling and beautiful. Highly recommended.
Holy crap, what a pleasant surprise. This song could easily slide right onto Diesel and Dust or Blue Sky Mining. It's like they never left. I was lucky enough to catch them live on their reunion tour in 2017 and they were just as powerful as ever. Great band.
Distortion: 1989-2019, a chronicle of the solo career of Bob Mould and his band Sugar, released on the 2nd October 2020.
Presented as a 12” x 12” hardback book, including 18 studio albums plus 4 live albums and 2 albums of rarities and collaborations, assembled with Bob Mould’s full involvement, featuring new sleeve notes from UK music critic Keith Cameron, plus exclusive new artwork by Simon Marchner.

Featuring an incredible 295 tracks across 24 CDs, mastered by Jeff Lipton and Maria Rice at Peerless Mastering in Boston, and including every solo album from 1989’s Workbook to 2019’s Sunshine Rock.
This is the best album of the year and I know I'll never convince anybody else of it's glory:
2 hours and 9 minutes of experimental avant-garde jazz.
By exploring the evolution of the human species, NEPTUNIAN MAXMALISM question the future of the living on Earth, propitiating a feeling of acceptance for the conclusion of the so called "anthropocene" era and preparing us for the incoming “probocene” era, imagining our planet ruled by superior intelligent elephants after the end of humanity. As Guillaume Cazalet explains, “for certain scientists, if we hadn't rule the Earth, elephants were supposed to be at the top of the pyramid of terrestrial life.”
What the #### why does this click so much for me? It sounds like a literal nightmare and I love it.
