My favorite time of the year — end of year best of music lists!
Now, this is the first time In The Groove has been around to actually do these — what an honor. And it’s not about ranking. It’s just about sharing the stuff that was in heavy rotation on the show or heavy rotation on my playlists (which is the show, so I guess those things are the same thing). And on top of that, I really wanted to hear from you! And you didn’t disappoint at all. Listener picks today from Yard Act, Laura Marling, Being Dead, Kamasi Washington and Glass Beams. Plus, lots of my picks including Wye Oak, English Teacher, Britti, musclecars and more.
Check the playlist below and listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
