Monthly Listening: March 2019

The year has now officially reached its point where releases start flooding in, and I’m in an endless process of catch-up. The list feels way longer than the past two months. I’m at least feeling the abundance of music. On the bright side, I already met quite a few records I can call favorites for the year, including that Ebi Chu album that graces the header for this. Fortunately, I got a space to talk in length about it, so I’m very excited about that.

Here is this month’s playlist highlighting my listening. Below is the full list of stuff I checked out. (I say “stuff” because I got a few mixes in there, a format I’m glad to be keeping up with in some degree!)
