The Hum and St. Vincent were released a week apart in February 2014 and it’s a testament to their quality that even with the toll of many months listening that my pick for record of the year was a straight choice between the two.
\nIt was a hard decision but I picked the O’Hooley & Tidow record for my number one. It’s a very beautiful record packed with personality and humanity. That sense of personality edged it ahead of St. Vincent’s seamless, jeweled, statement of intent.<\/p>\n

Gig of the year was Neutral Milk Hotel at the Corn Exchange. A joyous experience from beginning to end despite the slightly rubbish venue.<\/p>\n

My favourite new-to-me song of the year was You, Sailor by Erin McKeown<\/a>.
\nMy most listened to song from a 2014 record was Coil & Spring by O’Hooley & Tidow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
