New Releases January 2019

I put together a list of all the new releases of January 2019 to make it easier for everyone to do reviews on all the new stuff.  I made a New Year’s Resolution to try to make reviewing new releases a priority, and have found some really great discoveries while doing so.  There are some that I didn’t get to, but I found out that there are several out there that didn’t get any other reviews than the ones that I posted.  I want to put this list out on a monthly basis in order to hopefully help other members see what is new and provide more reviews on the new releases that get forgotten about and slip into oblivion. 

Anyway, here is the list of what was released last month.  I am sure I have missed some, so feel free to add to the list, but make sure they are listed on this site first.  If they are not, and you think they should be on Prog Archives, then go into the thread that is created for that purpose, namely “Suggest New Bands and Artists”.

As you can see, this is quite a list.  I tried to review everyone of them, but was unable to do them all, so I decided not to review live albums unless requested by the artist.  There were a few others that I didn’t get to that I am hoping to.  But, this is a daunting task and so your help is much appreciated.  These artists rely on our reviews to help spread their music around.  Just pick a few that you think you would be interested in or do as many as you want.  Most of them are available for streaming on Bandcamp or YouTube and other places.  You might find something you really like, like I did.

Here are my top picks (in no particular order, remember I missed a few):

1)     Mono – “No Where, Now Here”

2)     Rozmainsky & Mikhaylov – “Adventures at the Babooniumfest 2017”

3)     Buke and Gase – “Scholars”

4)     Helium Horse Fly – “Hollowed”

1)     Mad Fellaz – “Mad Fellaz III”

2)     Samuel Cadima – “Outros Horizontes”

3)     Michael Zucker – “Strawberry Melt”

Feel free to add comments or add any that I may have forgot and I will edit this list.
