Songs of 2020: Q1


I've put together a playlist of my essential new music from the first quarter of 2020.

The first few months of 2020 have been unprecedented to say the least and in trying times, music is sometimes what helps me most. Ignoring the world feels nearly impossible, but through the aid of new tunes, it feels survivable. The start of the year saw big names like Tame Impala, Grimes, and Caribou finally drop their long-awaited new records and rising sensations like Soccer Mommy and Waxahatchee release some career highlights. Nicolas Jaar released TWO new albums, one under his own name and another under his Against All Logic moniker, and Nine Inch Nails shocked fans by also releasing TWO new installments of their blissful Ghosts records. No matter what's going on in the world, I hope something here provides hope, comfort, or helps to let out a little rage - whatever helps you get through the moment.
