I'm still flipping through albums, but this time they're on YouTube. So most of my recs are from there, and if their on Spotify I try to mention that too. YouTube is notorious for yanking videos. So I thought if that happens without me knowing about it, at least the album cover will still be seen. I understand some people don't like YT sound quality, but it's not too much of a problem with me, it all depends. If their OK quality I don't mind posting them.

I haven't had time to listen to many your recs, but but I'll certainly be moving on to Midwinter next, based on your description, and Stephen's (guarded) approval:-
I posted Whalefeather pretty much as soon as I found them. Even though I enjoyed them the first time around, I really hadn't had time for them to sink in, I hope they hold up as a decent rec. I listen to the Midwinter album quite a few times, and still like it. I found them after I discover the Trees and I have yet to post their albums.
