FROM THE VAULT: ottotune before ottotune
A new premium series of reviews from the before times: when 'ottotune' was just 'Karsten Otto'.
Welcome to the Vault.
Or… just outside the vault. I am showing you things that I am taking out of my vault of reviews.
From The Vault is a sneak peak into my past: my past taste, my paste style, my paste musical recommendations. These will be unedited ‘extractions’; the reviews are reprinted exactly as they were when I originally posted them, warts and all. Please, be kind.
I’ve been writing about music for a long time: I did a quarantine review Instagram account, I started and ended a music blog with one of my best friends, I wrote an annual old school email newsletter. But my earliest writing (I’m dating myself here) was on tumblr. Remember tumblr?
For this From the Vault, we’re going back to my VERY FIRST year-end album list that I ever made back in 2013.
Some of these albums I enjoy to this day, some have faded from my rotation, and, blessedly, only one brings me shame. Take a guess at which one that is in the comments!
These are my (again: original, unedited! Can you tell I’m nervous? hahaha) Top 15 Albums from 2013 along with five Honorable Mentions.
