I deffo want to do Chile and Argentina at sone point

Good shout

If only. I’m looking for this summer, got some ideas but would welcome some input

Grim Salvo and Witchouse 40k - VOIDST★R

Horrorcore rap which might sound a horrific idea to some but is actually pretty listenable when it's pissing it down and you're in a bad mood which is a frequent occurrence for me.

Banshee - BIRTH OF VENUS

You listen to a song like do i really scare you and you'd think this is just an pop / EDM album. It is not; Banshee is angry and she's makes that point clearly. Wasn't so keen on her album this year sadly.

Wisp - Pandora

Technically only an EP but she hasn't released an album... yet. Proper shoegazy rock that kinda reminds me of early Deftones, I want a full album and a European tour next year please.

lor2mg - Sunny Paws

I have to admit my bias here cos @lor2mg.bsky.social is a good friend of mine, but this album is severely under rated.

Summery, almost jazzy in places, it reminds me of Luscious Jackson and maybe even Gotan Project. Highly recommended.

Goo Munday - 9 Lives

This one is from 2019, but another one I only found this year. Glitchy electropop reminscent of Crystal Castles without the abuse allegations, this is full of bangers.

Hoping for more next year.

Snow Strippers - April Mixtape 3

So this is an album from 2023, but I only found out about them this year.

Almost cheesy EDM / Pop but such high energy and so listenable. Were pretty great when I saw them live too.

Molchat Doma - Belaya Polosa

Their last album was the soundtrack to ever gloomy Soviet / Eastern European reel on insta.

This one is a bit more upbeat but has that same wonderful post-punk sound.

Black Dresses - LAUGHINGFISH

An album made by a duo who apparently split five years ago, it's hard to nail this down to a genre.

Loud, noisy, screamy. One to crank up when you want to get rid of the overthinking.

Рушана - уф!

Yes it's Russian and it's pretty effing obscure but if you can get past that it's a beautiful melancholic pop album for the colder weather and darker nights.

She's got such a beautiful voice; I've had it on repeat the last month.

Charli XCX - BRAT

Easiest one to choose, cos it's the best album released this year IMO.

She got this spot on - not only the hedonism but the vulnerability too. The additional tracks in the deluxe version & the remixes were bob on.

Favourite gig this year too.
