It has been a busy year for Brian Foote, taking on production duties for Lotus Plaza’s wonderful debut The Floodlight Collective, completing As Good As Gone – Nudge’s first album in four years – and promoting that brilliant release throughout a European tour. In spite of that hectic schedule, Foote still managed to complete SCQ’s Year-End Questionnaire, offering a slew of records and songs worth investigating. (Photo by Stacie Jaye Meyer)
