Other Music Staff Picks for 2020
Continue reading... →
Hello and happy holidays friends! The wide release of the documentary about the store this year brought back a lot of great memories along with a lot of sad ones (click here for links to watch the movie if you haven't yet). At the end of 2016, just six months after we closed, we shared what we thought would be our final batch of end-of-year staff favorites with you. Reflecting on the year about to pass, we wrote, "in hard times even more than joyful ones, music will sustain us, and there was so much incredible music this year to nurture us all." That sentiment has proven more true than ever in 2020. With that in mind, we've virtually reunited the former staff of Other Music once more to share some of our favorite new releases, singles, compilations and reissues from 2020 -- a year that changed us all in ways we're still just beginning to understand. -

Hey there friends of Other Music — how ya been? It’s been six months since we locked the door on 15 East 4th Street for the last time, and far too much has happened to all of us to try to catch up here. Spreading the word about great records is what Other Music was always about, and while much has changed, we are thrilled that we can still share some of our favorite records of 2016 with you! Another sprawling and diverse rundown of records that inspired us, we hope you will find a few unheard gems in here to carry you into the new year! -
