Awesome post, so glad to see it up in full! May have to appropriate this format for a similar list dropping soon. 82 and 81 were a nice surprise (didn't know either was on your radar), as was seeing Marissa Nadler and Messa so high

Also glad to see I'm not the only one who struggled to find a high res image for the new Ethel Cain (they're out there, but SEO has not been kind to them for some reason :/)

Thank you!

Yeah, a few of the album artworks are pretty funky, but I did what I could.

I've liked Alfa Mist for a long while (since the debut), but the latest is one of his best, I think. I'm new to Surgeon but it was one of several releases which quite impressed while expanding my listening more into electronic realms this year.

Also thank you for introducing me to Rapt, was my #4 release of the year as well!

That's a bizarrely specific point of agreement - I love it! And yeah, it's a beautiful album.
