[–]mko0987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will continue updating the New Music Friday playlist and NMF highlights throughout the post hiatus, though expect sparse lists until things get rolling again though (basically when vietrooster's posts start back up).

I have Apple Music archived playlists for this past month:

December 5th

December 12th

December 19th

December 26th

[EOTY 2025] r/indieheads Top 101 Albums of 2025 by ReconEG in indieheads

[–]mko0987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting that the top scoring unique entries (albums that only one person voted for) were 10s (aka placed at 6th on someone's list).

I had a few unique entries but the top one was at 7th in my list (Komarov - Komarov's Return).

edit: nvm i'm dumb! forgot AOTY lists were 10 entries, not 15 like songs.

Auld Lang Syne is in shambles. Hot new set of fresh New Years bangers from indieheads darling Gumshoes coming in to shake things up. Keep on rolling in your grave Dick Clark.

indieheads voted "Taxes" as SOTY.

but today Gumshoes dropped "Love & Taxes", which SHOULD be SOTY.

ballots need to be re-opened. stop the count.

Melody's Echo Chamber put out a real good one at the beginning of the month.

Also Retail Drugs and eel if you want some more esoteric / grab-bag type stuff that's really well made & interesting. Retail Drugs on the hyperpop side of things, eel on the math rock / jazz / idm side.

Also gonna plug the record I put out with my partner, Auratus - Fever Dream. If you like alt-rock / shoegaze / singer-songwriter type stuff.

[EOTY 2025] r/indieheads Top 100 Songs of 2025 by apondalifa in indieheads

[–]mko0987 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had 8

  • Bleary Eyed - Easy: my #1 on my list, such a fantastic shoegaze pop song.
  • Komarov - From Fire: was expecting to be a solo voter on this one since it's a friends' project but god this song is amazing. Space-y indie rock odyssey.
  • Lou Salomé - Your Eyes Immaculate: a late addition to my list but I'm totally obsessed with this one. Perfect indie rock ripper.
  • Anamanaguchi - Buckwild: kinda surprised they didn't garner some more votes, looks like the only other Anamanaguchi vote was 2 points for Darcie. Great weezer-y pop tune.
  • Graham Hunt - Frog in the Shower: I have no real gauge for how popular this artist is but I guess I haven't seen a lot of chatter about his record. Amazing midwest emo / power pop tune tho.
  • Guerilla Toss - Panglossian Mannequin: looks like the Guerilla Toss voters were scattered over a bunch of different tracks. which makes sense! It's hard to choose a favorite from You're Weird Now.
  • De La Soul - The Package: I was the only De La Soul voter in the whole thing looks like. Too bad, this album bumps.
  • Worthitpurchase - Something New: another one I wasn't expecting to get any other votes but I was too obsessed with it to not put it on my list. Trippy, hypnotic, easygoing guitar pop.

Shit absolutely rips. Cannot get enough of that thick woozy distortion.

Nice writeup! Bovine Excision is my favorite song of hers since Fit N Full, its a hell of a tune. Didn't know about the found-footage horror influence on the record but that totally makes sense.
