Whats your favorite discovery in music this year?

[Bairuzg]

Yesterday I was watching YouTube videos and then I clicked on a particular thumbnail, now I can't stop listening to it 

But personally my favorite discovery in this current year, though I got a lot, it may be Unwound - New Plastic Ideas, I even bought the vinyl because I love that album

Another album I discovered this year is Newark'97 by Eldritch Anisette, yeah I know, kinda emo but I can't help it, it's just too good

AND ANOTHER ALBUM I LOVE AND DISCOVERED THIS YEAR IS CIRCA 40 - CIRCA 40 GOD I LOVE SCREAMO

I found someone on Twitter talking about a band called Wax Fang and immediately became interested from hearing that they're "Pink Floyd mixed with David Bowie". I looked them up on Youtube and picked the very first song that came up.

Please listen for yourself, cause holy jesus christ

Andrea Chahayed! I forget where I made the discovery, but it's a very similar kinda vibe to PinkPantheress and 8485 (Who I adore.) I recommend!

Not a discovery since I already knew about it, but PATD: A fever you can't sweat out. I listened to the full album and oh my god is it so good (∩˃o˂∩)♡! I never listened to the full album before and wow is it ahead of its time. I swear I have not heard anything like it before ꉂ(˵˃ ᗜ ˂˵)!!!

oh this is SOOO up my alley! i made a to-listen list a while back, and i've been slowly working through it. some highlights...

beverly glenn copeland: brekas my heart that this guy isn't a household name. black trans man with a really interesting discography, including the lovely electronic collection keyboard fantasies, and laughter in the summer, which came out this year. he was tragically diagnosed with dementia back in 2024--all the more reason to talk about him while he's here.

boko yout: brings to mind quirky post-punk/new wave vibes which i have always been obsessed with. sooooo cool!

coltemohnika: my bandmate casually dropped these as a comp for an upcoming track and i've been charmed by them ever since. 

the millennium: one of rym's top-ranked sunshine pop albums, beaten only by the beach boys, so i had to check it out. exceeded my expectations!!

babe ruth: heard them in a dj mix i put on while i worked and was blown away.

g-schmitt: save me gothic new wave!!! gothic new wave SAVE ME!!!

This post has made me really narrow down my favorites that I've found so far this year. If I thought for another hour I could narrow it down to one, but this has been dominating my mind for long enough tonight  . I've been taking a lot of time to listen outside of my comfort zone as well as reconnect with genres that I used to listen to much more frequently.

The Callous Daoboys - Gigantic Parasite Tongue. Mathcore/hardcore. I've known this band for a while and they're one of my favorites, so I am taking the time to plug them lmao

Terry Callier - You Goin' Miss Your Candyman. Soul/Funk/I don't have the vocabulary because I'm inexperienced with music like this. I found this on https://zamrock.net/ while trying to dive deeper into Zambian Psychedelic Rock, it was a happy little accident.

The RH Factor - Hardgroove. Jazz with a bit of 00s R&B. I used to be massively into jazz due to my band classes, but I fell off when I went to college. A friend of mind suggested the YouTube channel Open Studio as a way for me to learn more about jazz, which is where I found this.

Blonde Redhead - A Cure. Post Punk? Weird Rock? A group of my friends got tired of the ads on Music League so we just started a rotation of album suggestions. Someone submitted this as a joke because the last song is the Evil Morty song, but I ended up loving the album wholeheartedly.
