An unlucky 6th / 7th for Oliver Coates & Theo Parrish which are great.

Roisin & Adrianne in the hunt for AOTY.

Amazed about the lack of love for Bartess Strange. Thought that would be a surefire hit around here. It’s brilliant.

Great month. Really hard to order them. I’ve bought all of my top 10, other than two of them which aren’t on bandcamp so I’ll have a look elsewhere.

Also really liked Emily Brown, Glass Vaults, Kurt Vile, Mow, Stella Sommer, Jose Luis Andervel, The Last Dinosaur, Loma, Darlingside, Annie, and a few others as well.

and bonus mention to The Divine Comedy remastered reissues of all of their albums and the new b-sides, plus the new mix of Promenade.

  5. EarthEater - Phoenix…

Tricot’s 10 is possibly my favourite straight-up guitar rock album since Twin Fantasy (though they’re very different). Really want to know which Black Mirror episode ruined Open Mike Eagle’s marriage. Gorillaz is a banger-filled return to form and Clipping sounds like it could be the future. The 9-track version of Eartheater that I made would be number 1 for the month and a serious AOTY contender. Couldn’t rate the whole thing higher than 5th though.

Click the cog icon (the same one for blurring spoilers and building polls). Then press “hide details”

Slow start but ended up being a great month. From my list the artist that most probably haven’t heard before is my number 2 pick, Ghostemane. Difficult to describe, but imagine Jonathan Davies, Marilyn Manson and Hydo Da Hero growling and rapping over some NIN industrial beats. Good stuff.

Happy Touché Amoré are getting a wee bit of love :heart: massively deserved

Bruce clear winner - absolutely brilliant, the others all good (surprisingly so in the case of gorillaz) but in a slightly arbitrary order and I need to spend more time with

It is indeed brilliant. Sounded even better after last night’s news.

That’s what they said in Maricopa County. Sure you’ll be more reliable.

I’ve a lot of votes here that were absentee ballots.

I’m tempted just to trust and count my votes only and no one else’s.

Just count the first six or seven posts and then declare a winner in block capitals and go and play golf.
