December is always a slow month when it comes to music, but it’s the perfect time to bring together our favorite findings of 2014 and share them with the world.
Last year we skipped the Moovmnt Staff Pick, but I couldn’t leave you all empty handed this year. We’ve made a lot of new friends, discovered a lot of wonderful music and enjoyed so much incredible music.
It was hard to pick, but here is our ‘best of 2014’ list aka staff pick. We wish you all an amazing 2015 and keep an ear out for all the project we will be unleashing on you!
