Is this video cheating? Kind of! But Ms. Spellman is sending us these transmissions from another dimension so just cut me some slack? Chill house with plunderphonic influences. Iโve been obsessed with her all year.

Haley Heynderickx – “Foxglove”
This is Lorelei – “Dancing in the Club”
This dude also sings in Water From Your Eyes. I don't think every song on Box for Buddy, Box for Star is great, but boy the ones that are are really, really great. Like this track. ๐
Pissed Jeans – Killing All the Wrong People
"It's not the killing that's inherently wrong, it's that they're killing all the wrong people." Seven years away did not soothe their anger, and Half Divorced was definitely worth the wait.
Les Savy Fav – “Legendary Tippers”
Inches by Les Savy Fav is one of my comfort albums. For 20 years it's been on near constant rotation. I never got into anything else they did as much as that one, and figured they were a band lost to time. Imagine my surprise when I found out they were putting out a new album this year (OUI, LSF). Now multiply that surprise numerous times when I tell you that it's nearly as good as Inches. Highly recommended! "There's a stairway to heaven, but they'll let you slide to hell."
Allie X – “Black Eye”
Hey sorry this is so late! I promise the rest of these will be at more normal hours this week.
Life is relentless, but Allie X has been one of many of the salves that have helped me through this year. And this album (Girl With No Face) kind of flew under the radar, which is unfortunate because it is incredibly good.
Lankum – Go Dig My Grave
What if an Irish folk tune also had a freight train solo?
Meshuggah – Combustion
Meshuggah are the king of riffs, I enjoyed this translation.ย He tried so hard not to headbang throughout, but we get a couple at the end.
Original - (is this the best djent riff?ย or just the best riff?)
Mabe Fratti – Oidos
Big | Brave – Theft
I think I've played Big | Brave before -this song just feels right to me, it hits when it needs to hit, soars when it needs to soar and, sustains the whole way through.
That said, my favorite song this year might be "I felt a funeral" - just your classic drone metal setting of an Emily Dickinson poem.
