January

Mike Oldfield Return to Ommadawn

Album Digest January 2015 rounds up a few albums from the tail end of 2014 that I didn't get much time to write about. The only one of these six to be released this month is the excellent "No Cities To Love" by Sleater-Kinney.

Only one of this month three albums was actually released this month. Nelly Furtado's Mi plan was actually released over three years ago - I only discovered it last year when I wrote the September album digest following the release of "The Spirit Indestructible", or it might have been when I wrote about "Folklore" at around the same time.

Five albums to see in the new year:

Here’s to 2011 and the start of a monthly album digest. I want it to be a brief trot through some of the albums I have listened to each month. Sometimes January can bring a few quiet releases by big name bands. This happens if the previous album did not do as well as the record company hoped or if it is the kind of artist who would get lost under the hype of all the Christmas releases.
