Flying Vinyl - January 2016 issue

With the February edition landing (albeit not quite addressed to me; more on that another time) I thought I should re-visit what January had on offer.

When it arrived we took our lead from the final round of Pointless and, having flicked through the accompanying booklet, put the 5 singles in order of how much we thought we would like each one, leaving the possible best to last.

Flying Vinyl: The Class of January 2016

Thankfully, and quite brilliantly, we were proved wrong. January's stand-out single was one of the first we played: step forward Cameron AG. If we'd adopted the same approach on Spotify we may never have heard the stripped-down joy that is Lost Direction. 

I don't think there's a single act in the January box that I wouldn't be interested in seeing live. So if Phobophobes, Storms, Otherkin, Junk Son or Cameron AG want to add a Cambridge date to their next tours, they can expect an audience of at least two.
