This month’s compilation actually serves as a fusion of December and January. My primary focus in December was the Best Albums of 2008 feature, so there were not enough featured artists to suffice for an entire compilation. With that being said, the interval of time between the last feature of December and first feature of January allowed me to efficiently find some fantastic new artists. Whether you fancy icy electro-pop, bluesy indie-rock, or Japanese post-rock, there should be something for everyone in here. Stylistic variety has always been an aspect of music that I have striven to feature, and I am happy to say that this compilation is indicative of that.
