100 Favorite LP's 2019
Capping off another year, we've upped the ante to a Top 100 this year, after years of a focus on 50. As always, too much good stuff to keep up with, and if there was one recurring theme this year as a trend, it was watching a generation in LA absolutely come into its own with a sheaf of amazing releases, including Cherry Glazerr, Sasami, Vagabon, Hand Habits, Rosie Tucker, Chasms, Jay Som, Sudan Archives, French Vanilla, Shannon Lay, Drab Majesty, Automatic, Feels, Girlpool, Potty Mouth, and the return of the Vivian Girls.
Also, we marked the end of a decade by using our yearly Title IX playlist as a launchpad for our decade in review...
