The Syndicate

Capethony 90tano

I have no solid year-end list whatsoever and have chilled out of attempting one - part despondency at my own (for-some-time-now) apathy, inconsistent focus and lack of elevated pulse at most of what I'm hearing; part semi-objective feeling that the year has been rather lackluster. I revisited my 2022 chart and would honestly stand by my first 15-20 picks with genuine enthusiasm.

GTH top 3, probably:
Michael Pisaro-Liu - A Room Outside (performers: Guy Vandromme, Luciana Elizondo, Adrian Severins, Fabio Gionfrida)
billy woods & Kenny Segal - Maps
L'Rain - I Killed Your Dog

The rest of my top tier, in no definitive order:
HMTLD - The Worm
Darcy James Argue's Secret Society - Dynamic Maximum Tension
KMRU - glim
Noname - Sundial
Armand Hammer - We Buy Diabetic Test Strips
Graham Lambkin & James Rushford - Gondolas
Model-Actriz - Dogsbody
Kara Jackson - Why Does the Earth Give Us People to Love
Liv.e - Girl in the Half Pearl
Jessie War - That! Feels Good!
PJ Harvey - I Inside the Old Year Dying
Susanne Sundfør - Blómi

That's 15.
Meh.
