Fantastic Tones for Human Bones Mark Pascucci-Clifford and Robert Woods-LaDue

As usual, we are taking issue with the lack of credit these amazing albums are getting that were released in the past year.  Normally around the end of the year many outlets will publish a “Best of YYYY”, or a “Best of YYYY”, and we often do not see any of our favorite albums on these lists.  Therefore, we are taking it upon ourselves to spread the good word about some of the most amazing music that we found inspiring in this past year, 2022.
