Music: 2018 in review

MUSIC

I felt a disconnect to music in 2017, but happily things improved in 2018. While I didn’t listen to that many new releases I did listen to a lot of older music (mostly from familiar artists) that I either hadn’t heard or hadn’t connected with before and for a while I got pretty obsessed with music again, which was a great feeling. So while the bulk of the albums I listened to this last year were actually not released in 2018 there was some great current stuff in there too.

Here’s a collection of some of my favourite music from the last year, informed by my listening data from last.fm.

Carnac to Rennes via Rochefort-en-Terre

 

Our last day of driving took us from Carnac to Rennes via (accidentally) ‘France’s favourite village’ – an actual award it received in 2016 – Rochefort-en-terre, as well as pretty riverside town and some menhirs in St. Just.

Carnac & Quiberon

 

This day stands out in my memory, and not for the best reasons unfortunately but luckily nothing too terrible happened and it’s all quite funny now…

While based in Carnac, we took a daytrip to the peninsula of Quiberon, explored Carnac’s famous alignments and visited a night market and fest noz in the evening.

Die Antwoord Maak Vol at The Old Biscuit Mill

Thurs 20
December
2018

Die Antwoord put on a rare home-town show in Woodstock at the end of December. I really enjoyed their performance which felt very slick and watching them it’s clear how much they’ve honed their skills through their extensive touring overseas.

Here are some shots from the night featuring supporting artist Moonchild.
