Other Music Staff Picks for 2016
Continue reading... →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. Yet as the sun sets on 2016, we’d be lying if we said that we had fully moved on from the incredible two decades we all shared together. But for even for the most loyal in the Other Music family, our closing can only be one small part of the tumultuous year that was 2016. So many great and iconic artists have passed this year, so much pain and tragedy and loss in all quarters, it seems that all of us are looking forward right now, ready to turn the page on 2016! But the music — don’t forget the music! 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. 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 releases 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! And stay tuned for more updates on Come Together: Music Festival and Label Market, an exciting new adventure we are planning for Sunday, March 26 with our friends at MoMA PS1.
