2020 was a terrible year for so many reasons, and music was arguably more important to our mental health than ever before. Which is why it’s remarkable that, despite the quarantine and social distancing measures that cancelled our live shows, band practices, recording sessions, and the like, the Seattle community still put out so much good stuff this year. I asked our Cinder artists to write little mini-reviews for the music that got them through this year.

Our first episode! Featuring a phone chat with Mount Sigh about my favorite song on his EP Glitter Planet.
