honored to have two eremite records, simultonality & drum dance to the motherland, make top-ten appearances on favorite releases of 2017 by stranded records, one of the finest record stores around. check 'em out in oakland & in san francisco (on valencia street in the old aquarius space). home is where the music is. 

simultonality is #2 on john mulvey's favourite albums of 2017. always groovy to be on a mulvey list.

thanks to stewart smith at the quietus for selecting byron & gerald unity as the #2 archival jazz release of 2017. in mr. smith's estimation only alice coltrane's world spirituality classics 1 surpassed byron & gerald unity. we can live with that.  

eremite & its artists are grateful for this recognition of our work.
