With their debut, The Feelies dove into a genre reserved for those who hit rock bottom. Yet here they were, content and thriving. The energy and playfulness exudes every inch.

Well, their debut's named prematurely now. For that is not the masterpiece, this is. Deep into their career, Big Thief unveils a new level. A sprawling, 20-track, Indie Folk opus awaits.

On their sophomore release, BCNR prove everything. They're no fluke, they're versatile, aspirational, impassioned, defiant, and curious. This is the definition of masterpiece.

In the early days of a genre I largely dislike, lies an album filled with passion, variability, and men seeking material connections in the age of computers. The result is fantastic.

It was discredited by their own fans, ignored by wider audiences, and rebuked entirely by Swans themselves. Yet, their one foray into accessible Gothic Country proves too endearing to fail.

Only Richard Dawson could pull this off. Epic, monumental Art Rock telling tales that surround... plants. That's right, his collaboration with Circle charts history's green seers.

Curate This | December 24th, 2021

Brutal cold pierces the skin, devouring the soul. On Earth's defiant peak, senses dilute and combust. Sounds of heavenly abyss shred against an uninhabitable gale.

A career of middling mediocrity led to this, the ultimate form of expression Steely Dan could've possibly imagined with their brand of Pop Rock. Lovely and immaculately well-composed.

From Kanye West to a band whose existence isn't known, 2021's best offered a range as wide as the eye can see. Japanese Breakfast, JPEGMAFIA, black midi, it's all here.

Indie darlings like Japanese Breakfast, Go! Team, Spellling, and Sweet Trip compete against newcomers like Ducks Ltd, black midi, and underscores. Throw Kanye in for good measure.
