2020 has been a very different and difficult year for almost everybody. At times, we wanted to hide away from it all, and sometimes that was all anyone could do. But in the end, we focused on what we do best and tried to share great art with the world. We couldn’t be prouder of these musicians and releases and are humbled we are partners in sound with so many talented people.

A few of these albums have been recognized by critics as being among the year’s best:
