14. Late Great by Laura Stevenson
One of my favourite current singer songwriters, this is another triumph of an album from her. Immensely looking forward to seeing her live for the first time, next week.

16. There's A Whole World Out There by Arm's Length
My most listened to band this year, one of the best modern emo bands out there. I much prefer their debut album, which accounts for the majority of my '25 listening, but this one still very good.

15. Blizzard by Dove Ellis
Fantastic debut. You can hear his influences yet it still sounds original.

16. Wet Leg - Moisturizer
Watching their Glastonbury set, Rhian Teasdale walked on stage showing her guns, opening with Catch These Fists. But this album isn’t as confrontational as that suggests - still funny and surreal as their first but now very much in love
Favourite track - CPR

17. Fate Euphoric by Twen
I really liked their previous album and this one follows in the same vein. They have a dreamy, atmospheric sound but with a cutting edge, quite reminiscent of a lot of music I listened to in the 90s.

18. Best of Kings by Attention Bird Utopia
A wonderful album. Similarities to Elliott Smith in that it shares a foundation in introspective, often melancholic, understated and melodic songwriting. Mellow indie-folk done extremely well.

19. Anna B Savage - You & I Are Earth
This is the soundtrack to sitting by a log fire, with a glass of red in hand, feeling peacefully content. All is full of love - both with her relationship and to Ireland where she now calls home. A hug of an album.
Favourite track - Mo Cheol Thú

19. Drive to Goldenhammer by Divorce
Fantastic debut album from Nottingham band, Divorce. Their duel vocals work a treat here, and their brand of somewhat theatrical, alt-country tinged indie-rock, is surely taking them onto bigger and better things!

20. Rich(ard) Dawson - End Of The Middle
Now just Rich - gone were the 40 minute epics from his previous album and in it’s place, these nine warm, engaging insights into the repeating patterns of behaviour on generations of a family
Favourite track - Polytunnel

20. Automatic by The Lumineers
I bucked the trend on this, it's not their most popular album! Musically more sparse, which gives the vocals & underlying message space to breathe. Still rustic, but a more cynical & bleak edge than is usual for them.

21. Downpour by Charmer
The 1st of several emo-oriented albums in my top 25, it's broodily melancholic yet verging on anthemic, with overdriven, punchy grunge era guitars. Deeply introspective, influenced by the transition from youth into adulthood.

22. Bleeds by Wednesday
Whilst not quite hitting the chaotic peaks of RatSawGod, this is a more refined album and continues their fine form of making raw, intimate & erratic music that, for me, got better with each listen (at least initially).
