Favorite Tracks: Sun//Eater, Wrath

Tiny Moving Parts - Tiny Moving Parts 

Used to be big into this type of mathy, emo type stuff and this past couple years I’ve got right back into it so a new tmp album was very welcome and in my opinion easily in their top 3.

Favorite Tracks: 12345, The Demons Are Taking Over

Meechy Darko - Gothic Luxury 

Been fucking with FBZ since high school and this Meech solo drop is honestly on par with any of their group projects. Absolute heat.

Fav Tracks: Get Lit Or Die Tryin’, Hennessy & Halos

A cold wash for your mind, of all the recent releases for Cremation Lily this is by far my favourite, truly a highlight

Favorite Tracks: Dreams Drenched In Static, Overflowing Velvet Tide

The Wonder Years - The Hum Goes On Forever 

An absolute beauty of the band’s catalogue and my favourite album of there’s in nearly a decade (not that the other recent releases are bad) but this is such a strong entry.

Fav Tracks: Wyatt’s Song, Cardinals II

Arms Length - Never Before Seen, Never Again Found

Favorite Tracks: Aries (Moth Song), Formative Age

The Callous Daoboys - Celebrity Therapist 

Every bit as insane and chaotic as their previous album this thing shreds in the best way. Wild production and sporadic lyrics plus it’s heavy as shit 

Favorite Tracks: Violent Astrology, What is Delicious? Who Swarms?

Invalids - Permanence 

Listened to this album on a whim through Spotify’s recommendation and it really caught me by surprise, huge fan of the sound and complexity and led me to deep dive their older stuff

Fav Tracks: Pareidolia, Tethered
