Time for another Ghost Cult “End Of Year” Guest post! We’ll be sharing lists, memories, and other shenanigans from our favorite bands, partners, music industry peers, and other folks we respect across the globe. Faith Coloccia of Mamiffershares her top eleven artists, albums, live concerts of 2019 and beyond with our readers. This marks Faith’s second appearance in our year-end list jamboree and we are honored and grateful for her recommendations, always worth checking out!
