Music Friyay: Molly Burch, T.Rex, Max Ritcher

By Joanna C. Valente

Here’s some music, new and old, you should listen to and check out:

Molly Burch - First Flower

Burch’s 2018 album is fantastic, and provides a nostalgic, sultry soundtrack.

T.Rex - The Slider

T.Rex’s 1972 album is clearly a classic. While in social isolation, T.Rex has given me a lot of needed energy. Plus who doesn’t love “Metal Guru?”

Max Ritcher - Vivaldi: The Four Seasons Recomposed

Ritchter’s Vivaldi reimaginations are absolutely perfect. I have been working alongside them to focus this week.
