The one drawback of this forum is that it occasionally bamboozles me into buying an album of really boring folk music. (I can’t really blame anyone but myself)

Here’s an Apple Music playlist of tracks from this thread. I really enjoyed listening through all the music. A lot of the picks are albums so I have selected a track that I thought was representative of the sound.
I’ve stuck to tracks released in 2024, so none of the reissues are included, or compilations of previously released music.
I’ll add to it if any more lists get added. Hopefully, I didn’t miss out anyone’s choices…

Ive hardly bought any new music but highlights include the Tangent compilation and Shinichi Atobi’s new one. As ever plenty to catch up with in my wishlist. I continue to listen to Do You Radio everyday which is always inspiring. Book Haruki Murakami’s IQ84

I hear so much music on Do You that I wouldn’t have heard otherwise, at least a track a day added to my want list.
