Artist of the week: exploration of an artist that may have been recommended to me numerous times, or their name has been in my head for years without me actually having heard them, or just an artist I have perhaps heard a little of and have been meaning to explore more fully. Reading up on, rating and rinsing their discography with the kind assistance of Spotify.
