Hayley Williams - Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party
NR

Super surprised! Loved this a lot more than expected. Such an incredible journey.

Geese - Trinidad
100

fucking insane i kinda love it

Blood Orange - Essex Honey
77

while i wish the vocals had some extra urgency behind them sometimes, the instrumentals are an absolute breeze while having these intriguing stings and pauses that really keep me guessing.

quannnic - Warbrained
77

pretty fukn sick actually.

The Beths - Straight Line Was A Lie
72

i love the beths a lot. i nearly cried at their live show. the sweet songwriting is as fruitful for my soul as possible but... the beths... elizabeth... lizzy my girl... just try add a synth or something... a trumpet? I can't help but feel like I've heard this album too many times now, and a stylistic switch-up would be a fresh thing for this band to do, but for now, it feels a little like spiralling on old ideas.

Water From Your Eyes - It's A Beautiful Place
80

wtf this is awesome. its like a mix of Alex G, Viagra Boys, and Wet Leg. really dig it.

Dominic Fike - Rocket
63

how is this too long and too short at the same time. i need the fat trimmed while simulateously needing these ideas expanded on. its a bit frustrating to try and eloquently state my feelings on this lol just try more with less ideas.

Wolf Alice - The Clearing
71

god The Sofa is in my top 10 songs of the year for me and the rest of the album kind of moves at a snails pace comparatively. i dont get a whole lot of of the more slower ballad focused cuts, but when this thing gives its all its really good.

Chance the Rapper - STAR LINE
62

i can maybe take three songs off of this to appreciate but there is simply just too much clutter that i am not convinced Chance put his whole heart into for me to really sink into this fully.

Joey Valence & Brae - HYPERYOUTH
87

while some of the more sentimental moments feel a bit teen movie-ish, the persistence of bringing the energy that only they can bring keeps this afloat.

Earl Sweatshirt - Live Laugh Love
72

this has a lot more i can chew on than some of Earl's other material, but it is one that i can only really appreciate in hindsight, as when i actively try to listen i get a bit impatient with the warbly vocals. TOURMALINE is exceptional tho.

shame - Cutthroat
60

whats going on here guys? this is like the frat rap equivalent to post-punk. i saw these guys live supporting Fontaine's DC, and they were spectacular, and while this isn't the worst thing in the world, this is just nowhere near the calibre of any of their earlier material.

Big Thief - Double Infinity
84

Just always nlown away by the expressive tenderness this songwriter has. Need to listen to this on a train going down the countryside or some shit lol.

Deftones - private music
88

not usually my thing but holy shit this has sauce. infinite source is one of the best songs of the year.

Dijon - Baby
83

amazingly made and written but I can't help think that the glitchy production (which I am usually all for) takes away from the totally raw off-the-floor vibe that made Absolutely one of the best of the decade. This album is not bad by any means but it does not quite scratch that same itch that so many songs on his previous album did. He needs to be sadder lol.

Still leaps and bounds above so much other music however.

Ethel Cain - Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You
94

i wasnt ready for this. blew my fukn socks off. i need to crawl up into a ball now. stunning stuff.

Oklou - choke enough
68

A little too minimal for me to really sink my teeth into but definitely saving a few songs for a specific aesthetic playlist for sure

Quadeca - Vanisher, Horizon Scraper
100

perfection. i may be hasty saying this but this is some of the most creatively fulfilling music i have ever heard. really tossing up if this is entered my rushmore of albums. it is other wordly.
