I’ve had the opportunity to write about some amazing new music this year: new artists, reinventions from old artists, and seeing some newer bands find a voice that they had been looking for since their debut. Finding only ten to make the list was difficult, but my number one was never in question; only one song this year grabbed me by the collar and demanded to be heard.
Songs:
10. Sleater-Kinney – “Bury Our Friends”
9. Ryn Weaver – “OctaHate (Cashmere Cat Remix)”
8. Kevin Drew – “Good Sex”
7. The New Pornographers – “Marching Orders”
6. SALES – “Getting It On”
5. Speedy Ortiz – “American Horror”
4. Mr Twin Sister – “Out of the Dark”
3. TEEN – “More Than I Ask For”
2. Fickle Friends – “For You”
1. Ought – “Habit”
