Yet another rec comp 10
This is the tenth and final round, so I'm gonna throw you 2 for a curveball, I want 9 recs in total from each of you, 1 for each of the previous 9 rounds. No bands may be re-used, so if a band has already been recced sometime in this competition, it is off limits. Whoever has the highest average score from their nine recs wins the competition.

Wrong
It's catching up
An aggressive track from a band that I've been meaning to check for a while now, nothing spectacular, but it's solid

| 12 |  | The radio dept.
Clinging to a Scheme
This time around
Very laid back and relaxed, a fun listen
3.8 |
| 13 |  | Grief
Miserably ever after
One of those days
It's a middle of the road track by Grief, so it's still better than most other bands
3.8 |
| 14 |  | Bomb the Music Industry!
To leave or die in long Island
Syke! Life is awesome
Sounds like a generic Ska tune
3.3 |
| 15 |  | Roy montgomery
Scenes from the south island
Rainshadow near christchurch
A slightly unsettling Drone track that manages to don't feel repetitive, nothing wrong with that
3.8 |
| 16 |  | This heat
Deceit
Paper hats
This track blew me away, kinda reminds me of swans if they were a lot better. The opening riff was better than 90% of tracks recced in this competition
4.3 |
| 17 |  | Medicine
Shot forth self living
Aruca
I didn't know that shoegaze could get this noisy until I heard this song, and surprisingly it sounds really good

| 18 |  | Raime
Quarter Turns Over a Living Line
Exist in the repeat of practice
I overuse the word unsettling whenever I describe tracks like this, but it's the only word that comes to mind, it makes me feel like I'm being watched for whatever reason
4.2 |
| 19 |  | Suis la lune
Heir
September gave us awkwardness, October gave us nothing
Solid skramz track
3.9 |
| 20 |  | Trespassers William
Different Stars

| 21 |  | Black eyes
Black eyes
Speaking in tongues
At first the vocals turned me off of this track, but after a few listens they became my favorite part, they're bursting with energy
3.9 |
| 22 |  | Elysian fields
Queen of the Meadow
Hearts are open graves
Was hoping this track would take a different route than it did after hearing the start, but it's still enjoyable
3.6 |
| 23 |  | Planning for burial
Leaving
Being a teenager and the awkwardness of backseat sex
This played more like a post rock song than a sludge one, there are still sludge undertones that rear their head every once in a while, but I'd be hard pressed to call anything this airy sludge.
3.6 |
| 24 |  | Citizen fish
Free Souls In A Trapped Environment
Supermarket song
Sounds like a post punk vocalist filling in for a Ska band
3.7 |
| 25 |  | Gowns
Red State
White like heaven
I would have enjoyed this track much more if it was instrumental, as the vocals are extremely monotonous, even for drone
3.4 |
| 26 |  | Swell maps
Jane from occupied Europe
Cake shop girl
Sounds like generic post punk
3.6 |
| 27 |  | The twilight sad
Forget The Night Ahead
I became a prostitute
I've only heard one other song by these guys, and it left a completely different positive impression. Everything about this song works, down to the dudes Scottish accent. It all adds up to make a very pleasant track

| 28 |  | Disasterpeace
Hyper Light Drifter
The winding Ridge
This track reminded me of Oxenfree's soundtrack, and it made me reminisce about getting lost in the beauty of that game and it's peaceful soundscapes
4.1 |
| 29 |  | The wrens
The Meadowlands
Happy
A fitting rec from you considering the name, it's an absolutely beautiful emo track with exceptional vocals. One of my favorite tracks that I've been recced in this competition
