One of the things I think (hope) will jump out at people is how different all of our picks are. On the surface that seems like an obvious point to make, but the lack of a consensus pick--or even any real overlap--says a lot about what a year for new music 2023 was.

Someone needs to get Western Cum out of my ears (I am OF COURSE talking about the single and the album). Many thanks to all who worked on these lists, I have a lot of new Muzak to pump through the old ear canals and reminders to revisit some records that fell off my radar (looking at you: The Arc’s, Billy and Kenny’s Maps, Scaring the Hoes)

My word. Where do I begin?!
Frou Frou’s Let Go was on repeat FOREVER in my household in the early 2000’s when my babies were babies and I tried to control everything. I’m happy for the introduction to Caroline Polachek. I dig it.

*major music publications have entered the chat*
An extremely eclectic collection of albums, I really loved that about this collaboration!

ANOHNI is new to me and I plan to listen more.
So many good listens!
Some new (to me) artists to check out (Corey Hanson, The Arcs, The Clockworks). Looking forward to digging into those albums over the coming week.
Thanks for the many songs I’ve just added to my playlist.
I’m so glad you dig them! I’d be curious if any bubble to the top for you over time.
Thank you for introducing me to Durand James for which I will be eternally grateful!
I'm so glad you like that album! Durand Jones & the Indications is his more funky stuff and also worth checking out.
