Here are the ten best things I heard in 2021.
As with previous editions, this list is not the best stuff released this year, but my favourite music I heard for the first time in 2021. There's like, two tracks from last year, most are from the 80s.
I've also included my mix, compilation, and album of the year... those came out in 2021 though. Look, I'm barely holding it together as it is.
Here's the list in no particular order:
★ The Gloaming - Allistrum's March
★ Wet Leg - Chaise Longue (dancing around the patio with the boy in the summer to this is one of those memories I hope will always stick)
★ Tullio de Piscopo - Stop Bajon
★ For Those I Love - I Have A Love (Overmono Remix)
