This was... strange. The framing was weak, but some of the found footage is excellent. And quite abstract. Reminded me of The Outwaters (2022) in a good way.

Always my favourite part of list season. The staff/contributor charts are a real treasure trove w/ so much variety in the picks. Great way to discover new music.
Still quite happy with my list even though I compiled it almost 2 months ago. Los Thuthanaka should have been in my top 10, though.

Here's the Avant Rock chart that I've compiled for the Rewind issue of @thewiremagazine.bsky.social.
Truly an excellent year for rock*, with a bunch of other records that narrowly missed out on the top 10: Horse Lords & Arnold Dreyblatt, Cyrus Pireh, Chuck Roth, Crippling Alcholism...

My ballot had quite a few albums that I absolutely adore but didn't make the final list, incl. Abhorrent Expanse's insane death-metal-via-free-improv, @terzijdehorde.bsky.social's furious hardcore-tinged black metal, Weeping Sores / @avantdumb.bsky.social's touching experimental black-death metal...

Still thinking about the Sunn O))) show the other day. So fucking awesome, even considering the plaster that kept falling on my head from the dilapidated venue's roof.

Posebno mi je drag koncept "Roko's basilisk" koji je proizišao s LW-a i kojeg s ovim uzletom "AI-a" sad snifaju svi tehnokrati s mesijanskim kompleksom iz Silicijske doline.
Gdje je i što danas radi briljantni um koji je tu ideju osmislio, pitate se?

For the issue's CV special, I wrote about the Cab's influence in 1980s Yugoslavia.
I also penned the Avant Rock column (w/ amazing albums by @giantclaw.bsky.social and Marissa Nadler), reviewed new music by Merzbow and Bruch and revisited albums by Flower Travellin' Band and Phew/Kobayashi/Moebius.
