  1. Deafheaven - Infinite Granite
  2. Turnstile - Glow On
  3. Wozniak - Bruises
  4. Eluvium - Virga II EP

Started overthinking it so I arbitrarily stuck Eluvium in fourth on account of being an EP, but it’s amazing and second for second one of the few best releases of the year. Like four different shades of horror.

Really struggling with Tropical Fuck Storm and Joy Formidable, which I was not expecting at all. Hopefully they finally click.
