Went to a record store for the first time in 2022 on Sunday and was shocked to see the Harold Budd reissue from Superior Viaduct on the shelves a week before its official release date. A bit pricy for a 1xLP, but upon trading in two junk records that would never have gotten play from me, I knocked the total price down to $12. Can't wait to give this majestic record a spin later down the line in the collection playthrough...this was amazing to listen to at work.
Bought the Patricia Wolf LP as part of my Bandcamp Friday purchases for February. Like the Budd record above, I also haven spun this one yet. Happy that she signed the LP at my request. Excited to see her w/KMRU + Fennesz later in March, should be a stellar set.

Black Country, New Road's follow up is extravagant and amazing. Love this album oh so much, currently 2022 AotY.
New record from Bonobo is a jam and the red marbled pressing came out well. He's coming to Portland in March...might get a ticket before long.
LOVE the Amber Mark debut. Beyond excited to see her in an intimate venue a week before my birthday!!!
Newest one from yeule is also wonderful. Fascinating hybrid of ambient pop/glitch pop/industrial pop, which is a leap of change from
Serotonin II's consistent ambient pop style. Will be seeing them in a month.

All of these above are conveniently signed from having seen both in concert, also at the same venue! I'll have to post Circuit Des Yeux concert details tomorrow or in the coming days, very riveting show despite a few hiccups.
In Plain Speech was purchased for Bandcamp Friday, and
Reaching for Indigo was bought after CDY's show. It isn't pictured, but I also had Haley Fohr (Circuit Des Yeux) sign my copy of her album from last year,
-io, but that one was acquired last year.
Brandee Younger (w/Dezron Douglas) concert was also fantastic, as I had won a drawing for a pair of tickets!
