I’ve been holding off as long as I could hoping to revisit the playlists from each month before finalising my long list, but it turns out I would have needed to start in mid-September so I have to admit defeat and squeeze in my current top 5 before the deadline!
Almost time to shout STOP THE COUNT. Thank you so much for all your efforts - if there’s a charity you’d like us to make a donation to on your behalf, feel free to slip it alongside announcing the list.
Thanks, that’s very kind. @Octobadger has helpfully linked.
This is the final countdown … an hour left until close-down.
Shout out to @avery for making sure I got my vote in on time by reminding me to post this 10 times over the weekend. I’m not sure this is the exact list except the first 2 and still haven’t worked out my top ten, been enjoying lots of beaty stuff this year and lots of new(to me) artists.
And that’s it. Thanks everyone.
I’ll be back in a few days with some results.
As ever, thanks for running this
God bless you, that’s a lot of posts to correlate.
Just listened in the bath. Very nice, I see why it got a lot of love. Don’t know why I bounced off of it first time around.
Maybe you weren’t in a bath at the time?
That is correct
Dammit, missed another cut-off. Oh well, here’s mine:
I also missed the cut. Never mind, I think other people have most of these covered.
I’m counting the Loscil album and EP as one thing, as Lux: Refractions is basically reworkings of one track from Clara, and I wanted to have 5 different artists on my list.
And here is a list of my top 30 tracks on 2021. I don’t limit this list to only being stuff released in 2021, hence why my number is a song that was obviously on an album from 2020, and why a couple of John Carpenter things are on here.
30 Blue Aeroplanes – Your Ages
29 Lantlos – Magnolia
28 Zombie Zombie – The Thing
27 Nick Cave and Warren Ellis – Albuquerque
26 Wolf Alice – No Hard Feelings
25 The Weather Station – Parking Lot
24 Molly Nilsson – Pompei
23 Chazz Knapp – My TMJ Pain Might be an Abscess
22 The War on Drugs – Harmonia’s Dream
21 Wet Leg – Too Late Now
20 Loscil – Lux Refractions: 3
19 Hum – The Summoning
18 Low – Days Like These
17 John Carpenter – Assault on Precinct 13 (title theme)
16 Eve Maret – Synthensiser Hearts (W.H. Lung remix)
15 Beachy Head – Warning Bell
14 Orson Hentschel – Paradise Future
13 Wet Leg – Chaise Longue
12 Nils Frahm – Fundamental Values (‘Tripping’ version)
11 Peter Broderick – Earnest Leslye
10 The War on Drugs – Victim
09 W.H Lung – ARPi
08 Mogwai – Midnight Flit
07 Sofia Kourtesis – La Perla
06 Black Country, New Road - Sunglasses
05 The Antlers – Solstice
04 Cassandra Jenkins – Hard Drive
03 Niki and the Dove – Ode to Dancefloor
02 W.H Lung – Kaya
01 Hum – Desert Rambler
This is the original version of Sunglasses, not the reworked version that’s on the Black Country New Road album.
