It is a rare when a month does this, but I cannot recall a moment in April where I did not have something new and enjoyable to listen to. Whether I found myself humming to southern-rock, Swedish pop, intricate shoegaze, or sample-led electronica, both the diversity and quality presented by this month’s featured artists did not fail to please. I didn’t really appreciate the consistency of quality this month until I compiled this month’s compilation, featuring releases by the likes of My Morning Jacket, Quiet Village, The Explorers Club, and Bryan Scary that are already a few of my favorites for the year. If you have not been following the posts for the past few months, I hope these tracks find as much enjoyment for you as they did for me.
