Typically a depressing time of year, Christmas gone by, the realities of a big chunk of time back at work hitting home. So, what are you listening to to cope with the short days, the cold (or even the long days and the heat for the antipodeans), what's been keeping you company?
Personally, Space Afrika's Honest Labour has probably been my most played album since Christmas, it's been a great accompaniment to the dreary evening dog walks. Although I don't live in the urban environment the album reflects, but in middle-class suburbia 25 miles away, padding the dark alleyways of Standish to the melancholy drones and clicks of the miserable dance Mancs somehow seems fitting. The Strain, Crack and Break collection of artists from teh NWW list (France) has been a regular spin, too, a kind of random disconnected selection of tunes that I wouldn't normally go near, but tethered together on two slabs of vinyl seem to work as home-office background tunes.
And Joanna Newsom seems to have re-entered my thoughts again, been asking Alexa to play her stuff while I cook in the kitchen. I don't know if that's laziness/obviousness of choice, or just it's a safe happy-place to go to.
