2019 ALBUM OF THE YEAR

January 06, 2020 by Andrew Perrizo in Year End List

So here is the thing, I like a certain type of music, and though my musical taste has greatly expanded over the last year, These are my favorite albums and EPs of 2019. You’ll find albums no one else included on their year end lists, but you’ll also find albums that EVERYONE has already written about. Ask anyone else and they’ll give you a different list. it’s impossible to set my bias aside. It’s also impossible to include everyone on this list, there are a lot of truly amazing albums I feel bad for leaving off these lists. I listened to over two-hundred albums/EPs from 2019 and relistened to all of them again over the last couple months.All that said, here are my favorite albums and EPs of 2019. Tell me why I’m wrong and what I missed in the comments.

In Katy Vernon’s new music video for “Home,” her daughter uses stop motion and a doll and it’s house to tell a short story of settling into a house and making it a home. The doll unpacks boxes and sets up furniture, makes some tea, and bakes a cake, before finally putting its feet up and enjoying its new home.

KATY VERNON "SUIT OF HEARTS" REVIEW

May 20, 2019 by Andrew Perrizo in Album Review

As soon as you put on “Suit of Hearts,” the new album from Katy Vernon, you’ll notice two things, first the awesome quality of the band, and second Katy’s amazing voice.  “Suit of Hearts” starts off with the up beat title track about being good enough as you are and how no one is defined by one moment in their lives, even the mistakes.
