November’s list is here. We start off with Swedish singer Laleh’s first single, “Colors”, from her new album with the same name. After that we progress through synth, folk rock and bluegrass. As always, there’s a mix of old and new. Among the older tracks this month, we have “Homeboy” by Angel Corpus Christi and “Frontier Psychiatrist” by The Avalanches. “Homeboy” is one of the standout track from 95’s (not 2007 as Spotify thinks) “White Courtesy Phone”. “Frontier Psychiatrist” was released in 2000. The newer tracks include Valerie June’s “Somebody to Love”, from the new album “Pushin’ Against A Stone”. Make sure not to miss that!
