We’ve finally made it into the top 5! Thanks for sticking with me – every year it seems like a mammoth undertaking but I seem to get there in the end.

Welcome to Number 7 in my Album of the Year 2014 countdown. Thanks for sticking with me. One of the biggest joys I get from this blog is being able to write about music that might, otherwise, not get as much exposure as I think it should.
