Unhappy

Here are some things I liked a lot from this year. I won’t rank them. I don’t like ranking things. Here are some things anyway, in the order of my recollection:

MSC & The Body - I Don’t Ever Want to Be Alone
Midwife - Forever
Mamaleek - Come & See
Sightless Pit - Grave of a Dog
Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher
Cindy Lee - What’s Tonight to Eternity
Sprain - As Lost Through Collision
Gulch - Impenetrable Cerebral Fortress
Thou and Emma Ruth Rundle - May Our Chambers Be Full
The Microphones - Microphones in 2020
Hand Model - Manufactured Joy
Nothing - The Great Dismal
Freddie Gibbs & Alchemist - Alfredo
Westside Gunn - Pray for Paris
Duma - S/T
Uboa - The Flesh of the World
Haus Arafna - Asche
Soccer Mommy - color theory
Mary Lattimore - Silver Ladders
Oliver Coates - skins n slime
Anna von Hausswolff - All Thoughts Fly
NGHTCRWLR - Let the Children Scream
Vyva Melinkolya - Violet
Boris - NO
Sugar High - Love Addict

Honorable mentions:

Sumac - May You Be Held
Primitive Man - Immersion
Fiona Apple - Fetch the Bolt Cutters
Neptunian Maximalism - Eons
clipping. - Visions of Bodies Being Burned
Oransi Pazuzu - Mestarin kynsi

Things I haven’t got to yet but seem more likely than not to make the list eventually:

William Basinski - Lamentations
Armand Hammer - Shrines
Sadness - Alluring the Distant Eye
Ka - Descendants of Cain
Liturgy - Origin of the Alimonies
Black to Comm - Oocyte Oil & Stolen Androgens

Hors concours:

The Body - I’ve Seen All I Need to See. A 2021 release that shipped early, this was the most exciting new record I heard this year
