ACL 2024 ~ Top Ten Ambient
Approximately 4000 instrumental albums were submitted for review this year, nearly half of them ambient. To reach the summit is like climbing up the hill on the cover of Hollie Kenniff’s For Forever. The competition has never been so fierce

ACL 2024 ~ The Year’s Best Packaging
There’s something special about a physical release ~ the package arriving in the mail (or if one is fortunate, purchased from a shoppe); full-sized art to appreciate, liner notes to pore over; the scent of new vinyl, the pops and
