Tom Waits : Take One Last Look : Late Show with David Letterman (2015)

-          New song played as a sendoff for Dave's final run of shows.

-          Started mellow, soulful and jazz-leaning, but has slowly turned more alternative and weirder.

-          One of the greatest of the great musicians over the past 50 years.

Sufjan Stevens : Should Have Known Better : Carrie and Lowell (2015)

-          I believe it's officially his forthcoming 6th album, but he's also but out numerous other compilations and releases from side projects.

-          One of the most talented musicians that I've been able to enjoy every step of the way.

-          This first teaser sounds like a hope-elevating return to his early stripped back folk days.

Tame Impala : Let It Happen (2015)

-          First single from forthcoming 3rd LP.

-          By far the most dance-y track to date. Sounds more like Daft Punk than their previous music.

-          Innerspeaker & Lonerism have been two of the best Beatles-leaning vintage psych rock albums of the past few years.

-          One of the leading forces of the Perth, AUS psych rock scene.
