Monthly Listening: July 2020
A quick rundown of new albums I checked out this month, from Ayutthaya, RYUTist, Shinichi Atobe and more
Hi! This is July’s Monthly Listening list, a quick rundown of new albums I checked out this month that I enjoyed. You can browse Monthly Listenings of the past month in the archives.
Summer has begun! I hope you like new albums to start the season because this list is packed more than usual, enough for Substack to warn me that the amount of content on this post is too long to fit in an email. (So, yes, my email readers, please view this Monthly Listening list on the actual web page to see it in full.) You can also check out the monthly Spotify playlist of songs that didn’t make the cut on this month’s issues for more music. Happy listening!
