Am I the only one with the Pkew Pkew Pkew album on my list? Y'all should give it a chance, it's the most purely fun album I heard all year. Really cheesy but endearing and catchy punk rock.
And here I've listened to so little new music this year. I'm kinda ashamed. Favorite might be The Dear Hunter's Act V or Daughter's Not To Disappear.
Aside from the tip top records a lot of these are pretty much interchangeable, and a few towards the bottom and a bunch of honorable mentions that I haven't spent enough time with.

You're a big CEG fan, right? Or I could just be assuming bc I know you're big into the same kinda stuff as Joan and Casey a lot of the time, haha
Nah I've never listened to the band before. I know people always talked about them but never got into em
Ah alright. I could see how this might be a weird starting point for a new listener. I think Lose would be a bit more up yr alley
Washed over me like background music. The one slower song stuck out but the rest was whatever. I have been delving into their older stuff a bit more recently, though

Honorary mention – Hailey It Happens – S/T Chris the GOAT but I've only had two listens to it so far so didn't want to just rank it to rank it.
Also thx to Jake because Nicolas Jaar would have made this list had I heard it sooner but I'm still letting it sink in with me more but I really love it.
