A blast from the (recent)past......
npyritz.bsky.social Nathan Pyritz @npyritz.bsky.social · Dec 3
It's time to look back on everything I listened to this past year, and pick the records that made the biggest impression on me.

My first pick this year (in no particular order) is @keelinmusic.bsky.social's beautiful debut on @gondwanarecords.com from 2018.

It's good we're focusing on the ballroom as a metonymn for this regime's gaudy, sadistic and heartless corruption.

But we gotta get deeper!
