The Monthly Wrap | 04 | May
Inside: Ian Yates, Colorvault, Jesus Wannabeez, Jon Webster, Wild Earth and more.
Hi Pal.
Welcome to the monthly wrap for May. The Monthly Wrap is a monthly newsletter where I give a rundown of the musical highlights of the past month. But first, a little housekeeping…
This is the last The Monthly Wrap edition available for free subscribers. I recently transitioned into creating paid content and although most of my other content is still free, I will be moving this and creating other new content for paid subscribers. If you’re willing to support my work here, please consider it.

On The Horizon
Spencer Annis has announced a new album for the summer of 2022. So far, we have two singles — Father Heart and Coming Clean — from the project which is titled, In the Upper Room.
Ordinary Time announced a fundraiser on Indiegogo a few days ago for the recording and production of their next album. To support the folk trio on this project, see the link here.
That’s it for today.
Until next time.
Keep listening!

Looking at the playlist now and wasnt expecting Rob Ray & Bec Amour on it. Gosh!!! The Blind Man has been one song alright. 😭
And Wild Earth's This is Glory is really good.
Now, we are going to listen to playlist. 😊
Just about to listen to the playlist. I also don't know any of the people coming up in the next couple of months. But, I am really excited for all this new music. It's like a whole new vista. Thank you
