Luckily the comfortable feeling of semi-isolation I‘ve experienced lately have been well-soundtracked. “Island, IS”, by Justin Vernon and his friends in the Volcano Choir side project, seems predetermined to bleed into Au’s “Ida Walked Away” and the Afro-pop of The Very Best’s “Julia”. Some of those aforementioned blurry beach jams come next, followed by the latest free Radiohead tune, a batch of skuzzy garage rockers, the supersonic sheen of The Big Pink, and finally a run through a pair of lilting folk tunes, the last of which is the elegiac title track to the upcoming Simon Joyner record. It’s actually quite a seemless little mix - much more than just a collection of the month’s best music…which it also is. As always, thanks for reading and ch-check it out:
