  1. Girl Band – The Talkies (pipped Kelsey Lu to the top spot because by all accounts the lead singer has had a rough few years and to nail it like this by surpassing their debut is a grand achievement)
  2. Kelsey Lu – Blood (deserves a lot more appreciation)
  3. Sudan Archives – Athena (as does this, very similar in feel to KL)
  4. Bonniesongs – Energetic Mind (best ‘conventional’ guitar album I’ve heard in a while)
  5. Bobby Krlic – Midsommar OST (thoroughly addictive freak-classical, not sure I’ll bother with the film though)

Close but no cigar:

  1. Faye Webster - Atlanta Millionaire’s Club (so laid back and summery)
  2. Aiden Baker / Faith Coloccia / Jon Mueller - See Through (nice and dark)
  3. Kinbrae - Landforms (beautiful and immersive)
  4. Florist - Emily Alone (beautiful but slight)
  5. Big Thief - U.F.O.F (not as good as the other nine in my list :wink: )
