Why March Is a Fantastic Month for New Albums
_________
WE are only a portion of the way through 2018…

but there is much to get excited about. There have already been some corking albums out – including Field Music and Tune-Yards’ year-bossing cuts – and that is no danger of stopping! I am going to write some traditional features later but, right now, I wanted to look at a collection of albums that will make March a wonderful and memorable one. The winter is still here and struggling to take a hint: the need to look forward to something promising is hot and heavy.
I bring together the best albums we can look forward to next month – the epic and fully-stuffed L.P.s that will erase all the misery and cold of winter.
