#AOTY2025 Day 14: #Délirant “Thoughteater”. Dissonant, soupy, abstract blackened death from Spain. Almost psychedelic in its disorientating maelstrom. 🤌🏻

#AOTY2025 Day 13: “Souvenirs from Hell” by #HeejinJang. I think I found this c/o @iheartnoise.bsky.social. Jang is a South Korean-based noise/electronics artist. She runs the gamut from glitches and noise, to grainy drone and broken beats, to field recordings and ambient here. Quality stuff!

Makes sense to big up my favourite single of 2025 on the same day I post about the recent #Stereolab album. Their ‘Fed Up With Your Job’/‘Constant And Uniform Movement Unknown’ isn’t really an EP as such, but a standalone two-track release. ‘FUWYJ’ is, imho, one of their very best. Lush, lush pop. 💋

Great albums still coming out this deep into ‘25!? God bless #MetaSky 🤘🏻 This new #Fleshvessel is the shit. Just what #IVoidhanger excel at. Avant metal, that dips its fetid tentacles into classical, drone, opera, noise, and even Brechtian avenues. @amiintrouble.bsky.social - could be one for you. 🤌🏻

#AOTY2025 Day 12: #Stereolab “Instant Holograms on Metal Film”. I didn’t think we’d ever get new music from the ‘Lab, but here it is. They’ve never been shit, but this was some of their best work since the 1990s. And they didn’t even put their strongest track of the year on it…! Welcome back. 🫶🏻

Back up to speed with my 11th
#AOTY2025. Another fantastic drone album in a year of fantastic drone albums: #KaliMalone & #DrewMcDowall with “Magnetism”. More synthetic, almost metallic sounding than Malone’s usual organic ambience. Heavier, more abrasive than last year’s excellent “All Life Long”🤌🏻
December 11, 2025 at 5:31 PM
January 2025 was a strong month, or maybe I was just paying more attention! Anyway, my belated 10th #AOTY2025 is “Join the Night” by #BloodHowl. This is gazey BM shot through with super melodic MBV “Loveless” moments: lush synths, trippy (programmed?) Colm Ó Cíosóig-y drums, & thick vapour trail 🎸
December 11, 2025 at 3:12 PM
Fallen a bit behind with my #AOTY2025 reveal. No. 9 is - of course - “The Pederast” by #ChristianNecromancy. Feral BM “played on acoustic 10-string lyre (tuned in free intonation, amplified via a piezo, run through guitar distortion), fretless electric bass guitar, and electric drums”. Nasty shit!🔥🔥

Dear Apple Music, how the fuck is the debut Black Sabbath LP *not* an “essential album”!?!?! Sort it out! FFS!!!! 🤬

#AOTY2025 Day 8. In October, Australian ambient jazz trio #TheNecks dropped over three hours of new music with “Disquiet”. Four songs ranging from 26 to 74 minutes in length. Meditative, spacious, glacial, immersive, impressionistic. Everything you want from this band is all here.

Not seen much love for Noise Trail Immersion’s “Tutta La Morte In Un Solo Punto” round these parts. Definitely think it’ll be in my end of year list. Just not sure where. Listening again now and they really remind me of that Hydrahead golden era (Botch, Cave-In, Isis, Keelhaul, Knut…) c. 1998-2002.

Day 7 on my #AOTY2025 rundown: Hexrot “Formless Ruin of Oblivion”. Plays as a single 35 minute “dense stylistic melange of death, black, and thrash metal with inventive electronic experimentation”. Gonna say it: this Massachusetts duo deserve the sort of love that last Blood Incantation album got.

Took me a while to get round to listening to it, but the #DemonSluice album is a beast. Congrats to @oopaldoopal.bsky.social and all involved. If you ever fancy a remix of ‘Benthic Zone’ doing, hook me up! 🤙🏻

In the spirit of Smash Hits Poll Winners Parties of yore, I’m going to sprinkle my fave albums of the year posts with things like this. My favourite sleeve art of 2025 is #Abduction “Existentialismus”. Weird and brilliant!

Oh my! 🫠
I’m ecstatic to announce my new double LP, Autechre Guitar, is now available for preorder from Bill Orcutt’s Palilalia Records. Ten songs by the English electronic music duo, Autechre, transcribed and arranged for solo acoustic guitar. 🙏 🟩

Day 6 of my slow #AOTY2025 reveal. Another year, another defining release from @uboatheflesh.bsky.social. (And she’s done two this year!) No one is doing this sort of death-industrial, dark ambient, sludge doom noise like #Uboa! “All the Dead Melt Down as Rain” - a beautiful, horrifying, horny rush.

#AOTY2025 no. 5: “Waiting Room” by #KathrynMohr. If there was a theme to my favouritest albums of this year it was DRONE. This one is definitely in my top 10 of ‘25. Spectral folk meets spooked, gauzy drone, haunted by ominous crumbling electronics. The track ‘Cornered’ is one of my 2025 faves. 🤌🏻
December 5, 2025 at 7:19 AM
Day 4 of my #AOTY2025 goes to “That Wasn't A Dream” by #PinoPalladino and #BlakeMills, a sumptuous suite of spacious and hypnotic jazz instrumentals for bass and fretless baritone guitar. Really lush and deep production. A great blend of tropicália-adjacent and slightly left-of-centre playing.
December 4, 2025 at 11:50 AM
Another EP I really enjoyed this year was the beautiful “Dancing Shoes” by #NilüferYanya which came out on Ninja Tune in July. Think grainy folk pop, shot through with gauzy shoegaze drones and brittle hip hop beats. This description doesn’t do Nilüfer any justice at all. Just listen to it! 🤌🏻

This year I’ve developed a real boner for that sweet spot where metal and hyper pop intersect: Blisspoint, Strawberry Hospital, Aphir, Ada Rook, Dooreater, Amphettamine, ameokama… Stuff that kinda sounds like Deftones meets SOPHIE.
December 3, 2025 at 9:54 PM
Day 3 in my #AOTY2025 rundown is Brooklyn avant power pop duo, #WaterFromYourEyes with their fantastic “It’s A Beautiful Place”. 10 tracks of noisy pop bliss, 29 minutes of heart-bursting, skyscraping melodies. Head-turning mood shifts, ambient chamber passages, drone interludes. Just perfect! 👌🏻

Had a sweet exchange with our 7yo this morning. I played her ‘Mabel’ by Juliana Hatfield 3 a few days ago. She asked me to play her it again today. Then I said that there was a track on the album called ‘For The Birds’ about how she tries to save a bird’s life that she finds.

In a weird moment of serendipity, on the same day I was contemplating posting the #WaterFromYourEyes album as one of my favourites of the year, they release a little EP.
