12-21-24 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center - Interesting Releases of 2024, Part 1

Greetings!

I've never been a huge fan of end of year "best of" lists, but more appropriately for Pushing The Envelope,  this is the first batch of 2024 releases that made my cochlea's hair cells tingle! 

Enjoy!
