It has been a very quiet year here at SIART. Life conspires to fill my time with work and family activities and has left little to no time for the blog. That being said, I have compiled a list of my favorite records of the year. They are presented in alphabetical order. If pushed to pick a number 1 I would have to say that it is The Phoenix Foundation's "Fandango", a sprawling two Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02272824073535549235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5463276.post-41612684686205706242013-04-12T20:03:00.000-05:002013-04-12T20:03:17.656-05:00Back 2 The Wild

2012 - A slow year on SIART as far as posts go... Still, I listened to plenty of music this year, and seeing as how it's been a few years since I've done a best of list I decided to get into the year end spirit and offer up the records that made my year brighter. I haven't ranked them, but the top 5 would probably be my faves of the year. And yeah, it's 74, not 75.

Holiday Cheer from siart on 8tracks Radio.
Enjoy this little Xmas mix tape. It has a bunch of fun holiday music,
both traditional classics and some leftfield gems too. A great

Catching Flies is a 21 year old producer from London. He is very fond of vinyl crackle, but doesn’t like pigeons. His tunes are lovely and laid back - kind of puts me in the mind of Onra or Bullion.

Their debut album pulled me in with it's sinewy guitars and bumping beats, blending smoky psychedelia and soulful grooves. The band has just signed with Jagjaguwar to release it's new album in 2013. They have just released a teaser called Swim & Sleep (Like A Shark) which picks up where the album left off.

The
Time & Space Machine aka Richard Norris is set to put out a second single from his Taste The Lazer album. The album is definitely SIART approved - a delightful blend of psychedelic rock, spacy synths and the
summery likes of Good Morning. If you've enjoyed Norris' remix work as half of Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve it is likely that you will enjoy The

Dubplate Dionysus was an idea formed in 2012 by friends Fred Royster, a graphic designer by day, remixer/producer by night and Matt Keppel, lyricist/vocalist of electronic pop act Microfilm.
