James Acaster here, comedian and music fan, and in 2017, I had a breakdown.

I dealt with that breakdown by buying as much music from 2016 as I possibly could.

As a result, I now own over 700 albums that came out in 2016 and I'm convinced it's the

greatest year for music of all time.

But it's not enough me being convinced, I also want to convince each and every single one

of you.

Plus a guest every week.

I'm going to send them an album in advance. They're going to come on

the podcast. We're going to talk about that 2016 album. This week, my guest is Aheir Shah,

and the album I've sent him, It's Good Will Come to You by Unblond. Unblond is one of the many

aliases over the years of John Sebastian Ordette, a musician who hails from Calgary in Canada.

He recorded this album when he was living in Montreal.

He's gone by many names over the years.

Currently, he's making music under the name Eves Jarvis.

I strongly recommend you check out everything he's done.

This is the first album that I got into by him.

It's recorded in his bedroom, there's sounds of the streets, there's gospel-inspired vocals.

I've been on my mind so long

It's epic, it's 21 tracks

Because someone once told him

An album should only be 10 tracks
