The word...

The February 20th release week didn’t have any particular album I was looking forward to, but (as always) I found a few projects I found interesting, including I’m Freaking Out by Worry Club, which I am really enjoying. Head over to the full review, linked above.

In terms of Honorable Mentions, I’ve got 5 albums for you… everything from folk and shoegaze to hip hop, R&B, and jazzy art pop. A little something for most folks who follow this blog!

Enjoy!
