Let’s not kid and pretend like I am still writing about music and just get to what I think was great music in 2014 (of the Slowcoustic variety). The albums listed below have moved around a bit as favourites over the year as listening ebbs and flows but it has mostly been as listed. I guess.

- Hiss Golden Messenger – Lateness of Dancers
- Strand of Oaks – Heal
