Here are Pete's Top Tens for '21
Albums
1. Emma Ruth Rundle - Engine of Hell
An album just so fitting for the dark times that have invaded our everyday life since last year. Isolation, physically and mentally has become the norm for so many people that we all need to be there to offer a helping hand where we can. A musically wondrous, lyrically intense album to sit down with and really immerse yourself in. You will find it compelling.

3. Robert Findlay - Sharecropper’s Son
4. Mastodon - Hush & Grim
5. The Coral - Coral Island
6. Jesse Malin - Sad and Beautiful World
7. Marissa Nadler - The Path of the Clouds
8. Lou Barlow - Reason To Live
9. The Ophelias - Crocus
10. Martha Wainwright - Love Will Be Reborn
