As accustomed, every year around this time we look back and review some of the best albums that I’ve enjoyed in the past year. In this installment of the Little Lighthouse, we review albums that took #30-#14 positions on my list. Although, it should be said that the list is that of a moment, and not a result of a very careful deliberation. Enjoy the music! Top 13 next week.

Hex Dispensers from Austin TX are back with the new album and so are the Parlor Snakes from Paris and New York City. Red Mass from Montreal are also back with some new tunes and so is Tall Juan from Queens. We introduce Lisa Prank from Seattle, Charlie Parr from Duluth and Mordecai Smyth from Reading, UK. Remember Satin Gum from Pittsburgh? They had a record last year that fell through the cracks, and we catch it today.
