Yo La Tengo - This Stupid World
Strong AOTY candidate. So good.
Release date: 2023-02-10
[9.0/10]
Not Waving - The Place I’ve Been Missing
Electronic / ambient pop / trip-hop. Cohesive and beautiful.
Release date: 2023-06-23
[8.4/10]
Squid - O Monolith
I imagine this is what Frank Zappa would do if he’s a millenial? Discordant / weirdly harmonious prog post-punk music.
Release date: 2023-06-09
[8.4/10]
Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean - Obsession Destruction
FFO Thou. This thing totally rips, I dig it.
Release date: 2023-05-12
[8.3/10]
Regis - Gymnastics
Pounding industrial techno.
Release date: 2016-09-09
[8.3/10]
Thantifaxath - Hive Mind Narcosis
Chaotic avant-garde black metal band is back, and is just as gnarly as before. Menacing stuff.
Release date: 2023-06-02
[8.2/10]
Sightless Pit - Lockstep Bloodwar
This is like if Justin Broadrick was a millenial.
Release date: 2023-01-27
[8.2/10]
upsammy - Germ in a Population of Buildings
Nimble IDM. Sounds very nice.
Release date: 2023-05-05
[8.1/10]
ANOHNI and the Johnsons - My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross
I’ve never heard of Antony and the Johnsons so I came into this one thinking maybe it’s like the last ANOHNI album, which is an outstanding experimental synth-pop album. And stylistically it’s nothing alike - this is straight up soul music. But it is also very good.
Release date: 2023-07-06
[8.1/10]
Agriculture - Agriculture
Romantic post-black metal. Lots of post BM bands out there but you rarely get a good one. This band is one of those good ones.
Release date: 2023-07-21
[8.0/10]
Knoll - Metempiric
Deathgrind. Has its moments.
Release date: 2022-06-24
[7.5/10]
Bendik Giske - Bendik Giske
Abrasive, stripped down solo saxophone album. Compared to previous albums this is much less flashy and more introspective. I kind of dig the previous ones more though…
Release date: 2023-06-09
[7.3/10]
Temps - PARTY GATOR PURGATORY
Experimental abstract hip-hop. A very strange sounding album…
Release date: 2023-05-19
[7.0/10]
Anthony Naples - Orbs
Chilled-out dub house. Sounds pretty good but feels just OK.
Release date: 2023-06-02
[6.6/10]
Blindfolded and Led to the Woods - Rejecting Obliteration
Technical death metal. Some parts are pretty good, some parts are kind of generic death metal, some parts are borderline deathcore chugs.
Release date: 2023-05-19
[6.3/10]
Sunrot - The Unfailing Rope
Metallic hardcore. Kinda meh… the spoken word parts don’t really mesh all that well into the music. But it’s got a Thou feature track.
Release date: 2023-04-07
[6.2/10]
The Ocean - Holocene
Pretty lackluster. The metal tracks don’t really feel all that enticing, and the ballads are no better. A far cry from Anthropocentric.
Release date: 2023-05-19
[5.5/10]
