  1. Tricot - 10
  2. Open Mike Eagle - Anime, Trauma and Divorce
  3. Gorillaz - Song Machine
  4. Clipping - Visions of Bodies Being Burned
  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.

Honourable mentions

Róisín Murphy - Róisín Machine
Metz - Atlas Vending
LOONA - [12:00]
Headie One - Edna

Really great month! So much good stuff :slight_smile:

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.

    Edit - add 5. This is the kit (forgot that one first time)

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.
