Reflecting upon what music commanded Amy Fear’s attention over the last year we thought we would share a brief list of favourite LPs as recommended further listening for our Fear Friends. These are not necessarily albums released in 2020 just ones that we discovered, or rediscovered, and listened to lots during the last 12 months. This eclectic selection may provide some insight into how Amy’s musical mind works and why her own songs traverse such a broad landscape of genres and styles.
