I have been really enjoying last year’s release by Future Islands, “In Evening Air.” I have also gone back to one of my favorite albums, The Smiths’ “The Queen is Dead,” which never gets old. Just last night, I listened to Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme” for the first time, and I have a feeling it will be on repeat for a few weeks.
