<p><img class="story_image" src="http://www.stereophile.com/images/BurgerLogo1.jpg" /></p> For me, and many people like me, the 365 days that comprise a calendar year are more than just a tidy representation of a brief period of life. Those 365 days mark a period of music discovery, filled with disappointments, surprises, and, if we’re lucky, one or two completely life-altering revelations.

If discovering a new artist is great, even better is discovering an entire record label of exciting new artists. It happens for me with increasing reliability: In the past few years, my musical world has grown dramatically, to now include Type, Preservation, Modern Love, Editions Mego, Blackest Ever Black, Touch, Hospital Productions, and the Pan labels, among others. If you know these fine music curators, you’ll sense that my recent listening has leaned toward the electronic, ambient, noise, and experimental genres. But music discovery is funny: For the most part, it manages to avoid cycles, lines, waves, and all other methods for tracing a coherent course.

Better than that, music discovery usually presents an accurate reflection of one’s most important self. I take it as no coincidence that I discovered Fullerton, California’s Burger Records in 2013
