Heroic Records Of 2016


Illustration by Irik Musin

All this love all this laughter all this music all this time shaped into feelings all this thought all this touring all this weather all this change all this searching all this struggle all these friends all this engagement of soul all this revelation all this spreading all this power all this development of ideas all this rigor all this attunement all this atonement all this concentration all this release.

Thank-you, for all of the above gifts, to all these artists, and many more, who gave us reason to believe in the light of words and the radiance of sounds this year. Bless the brightness that keeps your spirits true.
