Mo Troper has a great year. After producing a great album for Diners, he is now here with his own full length. He dedicated it to Jon Brion. Colin Cutler from North Carolina dedicated his album to Flannery O’Connor. Every song is a reflection on one of her characters. Sheer Mag from Philadelphia has a new single. Jake Roberts (ex Ausmuteants, Hierophants) is back with another Alien Nosejob project. Power pop power is represented by Nick Frater from UK, Marc Bailey from Iowa and Thomas Walsh from Ireland. King Louie Bankston nowadays performs as a one man band. Jaimie Branch was a New York trumpet player who had a series of Fly or Die albums. The latest one came out this year, unfortunately posthumously. Lastly, we have a tune from Ivar and Tommy go to Hollywood and I don’t know anything about them.
