#Zalinki's music got me through a lot of that summer and I have a lot of emotions tied to his work

Thinking about... Aberdeen Zalinki cover again...

Bro really uploaded one of the most beautifully painful songs I have ever heard in my fucking life and then wiped it off the face of the earth without warning, I only have it downloaded bc I was gonna use it in a speedpaint and then HOURS after I downloaded it he took it down like holy shit

I don't wanna do top albums this year I'm doing top tracks (that I've come across this year)

Idk what half the stuff I listen to comes from Spotify just swallows my tastes and regurgitates random stuff from the ether so I'm not even pretending to be cultured about any of these artists just to forwarn!

WARNING: LONG

It's just good innit it's actually hypnotic I love it the build is lush

Complete tonal shift I know but I really like how thin the instrumentation is it's like just a tiny bit of percussion and a guitar and some brass and it feels really intimate, the singer has a lot of personality in their voice too

It feels like something I'd hear a band play live in a pub back in the country

THE BASSLINE omg it just has a lot of rhythm stuff going on it's so hype but it still feels really beautiful and thoughtful because of how the vocals and the harp work with the super speed bass

This one is just vibes I've not got much to say it just sound good c:

They certainly do have feelings about being a neet I can tell you that much (it's like heartbreaking they sound so broken)

I really like when people put lots of their personality into rap like the little laughs and screams and when you can hear their facial expression it's just really nice

This one is however particularly upbeat and I am a sucker for a toy piano

I've been listening to Brittle Brian for like 4 years on an old Bandcamp split ep thing they did with some other artists and I was finally like 'hey maybe I should listen to more than 2 songs' so here came this BANGER

I love the emotion of lo-fi bedroom produced music recorded through fucked up mics and how raw it feels, like no matter the circumstances the artist is going to get their thoughts out and yeah this one is that like a lot

QUEST MASTER IS SO DOPE Y'ALL ITS JUST LIKE MODERN VIBEY OLD NOSTALGIC POINT AND CLICK ADVENTURE MUSIC I LOVE IT IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE IM STOOD ON A MISTY MEADOW BUT EVERYTHING IS A BITMAP

How do you make a piano sound passive agressive

This whole soundtrack is so wonderful but this one hits different for me, it's the start of a long journey full of anticipation at what lies ahead and it's like sad and hopeful and scared and excited and it's lovely

Ok I've hit the audio limit these are the ones that struck the biggest chord but yeah if any of this sounds good to you I am a freak who numbers their playlists by year and tries to refresh each year with mostly new (to me) music so you can check out more from this year or others on my Spotify!
