Always look forward to seeing yours!

 

I feel like you'd have an OG appreciation for 7 of my top 10 being female singers.

 

Definitely. Just wish I liked the Lights record as much as you do, haha

 

Nice! Didn’t expect Andrew to be number 1.

 

Yeah it just kept winning head-to-heads. Swift was too uneven. Bleachers lacked the high points. Etc.

 

Do you still dislike "Brooklyn, You're Killing Me," or did that song ever grow on you?

 

Love seeing Dia on someone else’s list!

 

No that one's grown on me a ton, as has "Island Radio".

 

I can't imagine her ever missing a list I would make at this rate.

 

That Dia album is excellent. Also nice seeing Brighten get an honorable mention. I don't think I saw that one show up on any other lists. It was top 5 for me last year.

 

They are honestly an exceptionally consistent band. I felt bad leaving them off, but it was a deep year.

 

That Brighten album really took me by surprise after I had already made my list. If I made a new one now, it definitely would make it.

 

Love the electronic flourishes that he started incorporating on that album. "Leather Weather" and "Leading Myself On" create such a great atmosphere.

 

That happens to me with something every year.

 

late as sin but we here, there's no order to the below:

Cloud Nothings - Life Without Sound
Priests - Nothing Feels Natural
Jay Som - Everybody Works
Vagabon - Infinite Worlds
Pallbearer - Heartless
Kendrick Lamar - Damn
Slowdive - Slowdive
Sorority Noise - You're not as alone as you think
Paramore - After Laughter
Girlpool - Powerplant
Lorde - Melodrama
Vince Staples - Big Fish Theory
Japanese Breakfast - Soft Sounds from Another Planet
The National - Sleep Well Beast
The War on Drugs - A Deeper Understanding
Noah Gundersen - White Noise
St. Vincent - Masseduction
Julien Baker - Turn Out the Lights
Caracara - Summer Megalith
Phoebe Bridgers - Strangers in the Alps

 

Anything here you think I should particularly prioritize or can probably avoid?

 

In particular I think you'd like ;
Asgeir (Icelandic folky ish music, bit Bon Iver-y)

Tei Shi (Somewhere between RnB and electro pop ish)

Tusks (downtempo electronic singer songwriter melancholy music.)

Madeline Kenny (describes herself as "Folk gaze", a mixture of folk and shoegaze)

Thomas Dybdahl (Classic American singer songwriter). Edit: Turns out he's actually Norwegian?!?!?. Very American sounding then...

Wolf Alice (Loud, really fun grungy / rock n roll stuff).

As far as what to avoid I don't imagine (but could well be wrong) you'd enjoy Jamie Lenman, Adore Repel, The Body & Full of hell or Solstafir.

Hope that helps!

 

Thanks. I'll pick at this over the next little bit.

 

I was looking back for my list and saw this and we share 4/5 of the top 5, and the only one not in my top 5 (TSwift) was like 12 or something on mine. Congrats to us!
