I don’t post very often anymore. I find myself producing less work but what is coming out is doing so more meaningfully. I’ve been actually submitting to actual things in the world instead of just publishing to my website, into the ether and over the heads of nearly everyone on earth. The planet is a funny thing, anyway. I’ve wanted to conquer it in certain ways for a really long time. Like any artist, I have a hard time existing in a vacuum. But that is where a lot of my things end up.
In any case, life is happening. Work is being made. And to fill up the meantime, these here are what I have decided are the five albums (of this century) that I can’t live without. They either acted as catalysts for the beginning of The Supposed So, defined a period of time in my life, or are simply some of the most beautiful, most important songs I’ve ever heard.
They are:
The Stage Names – Okkervil River
The Wild Hunt – The Tallest Man on Earth
I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning – Bright Eyes
Transangelic Exodus – Ezra Furman
Alas, I Cannot Swim – Laura Marling
Thank you for reading this and knowing me. I love you.
