Corey's August Music Round-Up

[Depending on how you want to look at it, I'm right on time or a day late with this. I don't really care either way.]

 With a great deal of regret, I must announce that this month really got away from me. I did some listening, but I hardly kept up with music this month like I typically do. It's been a crazy month and I've been working long hours and spending little time by myself. So I didn't get to do a rundown of a lot of albums this month, but there were some gems that came out. Unfortunately, most of them were albums which were already out that I was just catching up on, like the featured album above, Mariam the Believer's Blood Donation.
