You didn't ask for it, but here it is, a handy one-page directory of the 2021 Outsideleft Award Winning... Things!

Outsideleft LP of the Year 2021

Arooj Aftab - Vulture Prince
Arooj Aftab’s Vulture Prince (Verve Records) is Outsideleft’s LP of the year. Rarely, if ever have we heard such harmony unreconciled and such beauty compromised. For it cannot just be merely beautiful, its rudiments are in the pain of loss. It buries love with grace. The tone arm aches as it plays.


Outsideleft Reissue of 2021

Various Artists - The Trojan Story
Jay Lewis unearths the giant gems in a box. For the music, for the beauty of how it has been put together.

Outsideleft Debut Album of 2021

All About and Contributors

HELP OUTSIDELEFT

Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]

WRITE FOR OUTSIDELEFT

If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
