1. Aminé - Limbo

2. SAINt JHN - While The World Was Burning
3. V.V. - Gothica Fennica Vol. 1
4. Stay Inside - Viewing
5. Kehlani - It Was Good Until It Wasn’t
6. Rina Sawayama - Sawayama
7. Moses Sumney - græ
8. Sault - Untitled (Black Is)
9. A.A. Williams - Forever Blue

It was a weird year where I wasn’t super passionate about a lot of music to be honest. That being said, my favorite singer (Ville Valo, V.V.) put out a surprise album that caught me super off guard, and while Saint JHN’s album was slightly bloated with remixes off the back off the explosion of the Roses remix (which I still contend is bland and boring and not nearly as good as the original,) the high points on it reminded me why I was a fan before the Roses explosion.
Weird, even in a year where by my own admission I wasn’t passionate about a lot of the music, I can still sit here and write a passionate paragraph about the music I wasn’t passionate about lmao.
I just love music y’all.

Sorry lads but I’m gonna have to give all ten slots to Billie Eilish’s “When We All Fall Asleep” for the second year running. It was a close race between her and all other music but in the end i think we all knew how it was gonna go down.

My current album of the year is Jute Gyte's *Mitrealität*. Imagine, if you will, a microtonal, black metal-inflected version of one of Godflesh's later albums, and you have some concept of the basic sound, but it's a lot more than that, and I highly recommend it even if "weird industrial sludge" isn't quite your thing.
