Posted on by stuart

2015 energies were focused on my first, feature-length music documentary Turn It Up Louder. Happily the world did not come to a halt while I was holed up in the editing suite. This year brought a bounty of new and exciting albums that I enjoyed while cutting the movie.

FAMILIAR FACES, FRESH SOUNDS

Kate Pierson

SECOND-TIMERS

CHAPPO, Marina and The Diamonds, Melody Gardot, The Darkness

RETURNING FAVORITES

Belle & Sebastian, Grace Potter, Iron & Wine, The Ting Tings, Ben Folds, Foals, New Order, The Bird & The Bee, Florence + The Machine, Joe Jackson, Richard Thompson, St. Vincent, Everything Everything, Metric, Editors, Nerina Pallot, The Decemberists, Death Cab For Cutie

BONUS TRACK

St Vincent’s excellent single, Teenage Talk, never showed up on an album but is simply too good to miss.
