Personal Best


PERSONAL BEST THING OF THE YEAR

This list is not limited to 2023 releases that's stupid time is pretend. I found this last december and within 2 weeks it was in my top 10 most played albums of 2022 and it's probably gonna be there again this year! Yearning is sometimes subversive christofascism is always poison we only have each other in this dog ass world LETS ROCK
2of Montreal
White Is Relic/Irrealis Mood


BEST SIMULATION WHEEZINGS

Kev Barnes sometimes frustrates me cuz they're kinda flighty and too wry and eclectic for their own good and like, same... but five years ago they were also melting down over conspiracies and infatuated with dance music and falling unexpectedly back into romance and, hey, same! "Paranoiac Intervals" may be my new favorite inadvisable-fling song, period: "Only I see you the way you want to see yourself / you should be fucking with no one else" is so deliciously direct in its toxicity that it almost becomes swoon-worthy in its honesty.

BEST CUTESY BEDROOM ELECTRO POP THINGY ("Sinking Into You")

sorry for never reviewing this album i'm still figuring out why i don't really care that much about like 40% of it while "Sinking Into You" unfailingly fills my heart with glowing burbling cooing fuzzies. "perfect!" indeed.

Misadventures of Doomscroller


BEST DAD ROCK BOP ("Comes in Waves")

this year i was feeling like a lightbulb and the filament won't glow and the patient yet steadfastly bright and approachable pop songcraft of "Comes in Waves" was as reliable a balm as any. can't get enough of choruses that layer on a new vocal part with each repetition!
6Out Hud
Let Us Never Speak of it Again


BEST VOCAL CHOPPING ("How Long")

I threw half awayyy

BEST ALBUM FOR ALBUM LISTENERS (DEROGATORY)

i strenuously advise against using garbage swagless terms like "post punk" to describe this utterly dazzling and winsome display of melody and chops from New Zealand's finest young quartet of guitar-slingers- their whole deal is too universal for that kind of dorkery. catchy as the flu currently ravaging my body and smart as a whip all-around- This aint no dreary interpol crud, baby!
8Recycle Culture
AYA


BEST EP

just fuckin gorgeous cannot get enough of it ending with an instrumental version of the opener was actually legitimately genius
9Jessie Ware
That! Feels Good!


BEST MOM DISCO ("Free Yourself")

the first though i had listening to this song was "I bet my mom will really like this" and then when i visited in the summer i played it for her and I was right :)

BEST ATMOBREAKS TIDBIT

biased cuz we share a hometown but this thing sparks and moves like the dickens. Last track is the perfect palate cleanser too after the beat-assault of the preceding duo

BEST YOUTUBE ALGORITHM BREAKCORE AS IN THE KIDS CALL EVERYTHING WITH AMENS BREAKCORE NOW

sampling corey taylor >>>>>>>>>>> corey taylor
13Baroness
Stone


BEST SUNK-COST PITY FUCK ("Magnolia")

i don't know if i'm falling ever-so-slightly out of love with Baroness because I've listened to 'em too much or because i just can't seem to ever write about them to my satisfaction. read: STONE was an odd semi-lateral move I was pretty desperate to read as a redemption arc (make no mistake, on a mixing and mastering level it very much is) and i'm kinda still not totally willing to wrangle with my VERY mildly underwhelmed feelings about it, but "Magnolia" is an unqualified triumph, 6 full minutes of Baroness doing everything Baroness has always done best- massive hooks, winding melodic riffs, and lyrics that sound cool as heck, parseability be damned!
14Sneaker Pimps
Splinter


BEST TRIP HOP SEXYTIMES ("Lightning Field")

A lady doesn't kiss and tell but boy howdy hot DOG does this tune work a treat in the bedroom

Tender Buttons


BEST OLDISH CULT CLASSIC I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO AND ADORED

still waiting for their other 2 to click the same way but Broadcast serves up some of the finest droning pop texture-worship i encountered this year

ASS PUSSY FIGHTS FOR TRANS RIGHTS


BEST SHITPOSTS

As ever, it ends with an ass and a pussy. Amara Ivy’s lo-fi noisecore crusade against idiocy and good taste alike may just have peaked earlier this year as the perfect soundtrack to this dumb fucking husk of a decent idea finally catching fire in the dry heat of the internet’s all-encroaching enshittification (bandcamp i mean, not uhhhhhhhh)
