I hope those of you who celebrated holidays over the last month or so enjoyed the time and that you listened to lots of music. In the main, this episode plays tracks from albums released in the final weeks of 2017. I mention a couple of Websites in my verbal asides/recommendations. The first for the Alt-J hymn, 'Pleader' video. This is at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrhSJzM8NLE

and the Eluvium 'Drone Shuffle' can be found in his Bandcamp location: https://eluvium.bandcamp.com/album/shuffle-drones

Next month's episode will feature tracks from some of the new album releases in 2018 including First Aid Kit; Django Django; Nils Frahm; Joe Bonnamassa & Beth Orton; Khruangbin and Nightmares on Wax among others. That's next month - hope you find something you like in this months episode.
