i actually made a top 100 favourite songs list not too long ago, so I'll share the top 10 with y'all.
-----------------------------------
number 1: Dsco by Sweet Trip
This is sonic perfection. It is wonderfully textured and brings me so much joy and energy.
-----------------------------------
number 2: Homonculus by Xiu Xiu
As the self appointed biggest Xiu Xiu fan, I think this is my favourite song from them. The way Jamie's vocals match up with the synths in the chorus fucks me up.
-----------------------------------
number 3: I Want Wind To Blow by The Microphones
It's so warm and cozy and just wonderful, and it has that incredible breakdown at the end. Just fantastic.
-----------------------------------
number 4: After the Earthquake by Alvvays
The jangly guitars are so good, and just the noisy production is so fantastic. Brings me so much joy.
-----------------------------------
number 5: La Naturaleza by Asia Menor
Noisy post-punk that just goes incredibly hard. I remember finding this band back when they only had 2 singles and a demo tape, and the release of their debut album was the most happy I'd been.

number 6: untitled 05 | 09.21.2014 by Kendrick Lamar
I FUCKING LOVE JAZZ RAP I LOVE JAZZ INSTRUMENTATION!!!!!

number 7: You Know How It Is by Kero Kero Bonito
This band is responsible for my current love of music. All their shit from 2018 gave me the music brain worm, and this song is a standout from that era.

number 8: MAN IS LIKE A SPRING FLOWER by Lingua Ignota
Kristin Hayter might be my favourite vocalist of all time, and the way she mixes this folky appalachian sound with this dramatic classical is just absolutely jawdropping.

number 9: Dead Cowboy by Lightning Bolt
I don't think I have to explain why this song is so good.

number 10: Do The Astral Plane by Flying Lotus
Funky, Glitchy, just a straight bop from front to back.
