While women have been around experimental and creative music since its origins, in the last few years there has been more activity and recognition thereof. To that end, the following is a list of releases that we reviewed that are solo releases from women, or groups led or co-led by women.
And the usual disclaimers apply – there likely are plenty of great albums that we have not heard, did not get to review, or are still sitting in the queue. This is far from an exhaustive list.
Regardless, there is some AMAZING and unique music represented here (and we snuck in a couple of late 2018 releases). Don’t hesitate to give any of these a try.
