    that record rules

    listened to the Same record from last year. haven't really been too into this genre lately but that one is stellar.

    didn't really see too many year-end lists here in this thread.

    I really need to spend more time with I'm Glad It's You. I liked it, but never really came back to it.

    its not my fav record ever, but the Floral Tattoo album stayed with me all 2020 which is wild considering it came out last January

    I also love the I’m Glad It’s You album. Empty Country is fantastic as well

    Some Freak Supporter

    I don't remember if I posted my year end list here or not, but Hannah by Lomelda was easily my favorite emo record of the year. It kept fucking me up more and more on repeated listens.

    Dunno how many had it on their list but I felt from last year the Retirement Party record was pretty underrated. It was a step up from their debut which I also enjoyed.

    For this thread, my 2020 list is Addy - Eclipse, Same - Plastic Western, and the record below which i think suffered from being released too early. Didn't seem to get too many mentions in publications that i read.

    Did anyone pitch Snarls in here last year? If so I missed, but definitely picked it up from the Chorus EOTY List thread.

    I have to do this annual detective-level search for them, and absofacto, because I'll recall a song I want to hear but never saved anywhere. It happens in early fall without fail.

    if you like bands like charmer, hot mulligan, origami angel, etc, you'll probably dig this

    There isn't an indie rock/folk thread on here but this is pretty great. I literally just discovered them through watching a livestream. FFO: Phoebe Bridgers, Tomberlin, folky stuff
