#3551: John Schaefer's Annual Top Ten -2013 edition
For this New Sounds, listen to John Schaefer's completely personal and opinionated look at the ten best new music releases of 2013. There will probably be something by a Russian pianist/composer and a Tibetan singer, perhaps some music from a guitarist/composer who also plays in the National, and a vocalist/composer who practically creates choruses of herself. Also, listen for music from the IDM world with gamelan-like percussion, as well as Indo-jazz music from a South Asian suite.Â
