I love that Tenement album and appreciate ambition, experimentation, sprawl, etc., but just think how fuckin' badass it would be if pared down to just the great pop-rock songs? Think I'm gonna make that version myself.

that Happyness album sure is depressing in a very satisfying way

This song is pretty good. Debut out on Exploding in Sound next month, but I'm in denial about the passage of time so I'm putting it in the 2015 thread.

Agent Blå - Strand

this track reminds me of U2: I will Follow in terms of the guitar sounds. early U2 with female vocals instead of Bono

Listen to “Strand” from Gothenburg’s Agent Blå

I'm wrapping this playlist for the year. It has been updated with a few new adds (Zola Blood, Swim Deep, The Coolies, Dyke Drama) and includes every track mentioned on thread that is available via Spotify's US catalogue as of EOY 2015. If I missed something or if a track comes available sometime in the future, bump here to let me know and I'll add.

Yeah, this playlist is killing it right now.

forks, are you including in the genre playlists tracks from artists that fit in a genre but aren't mentioned in the corresponding thread because they have their own thread? Example: Low.

moans and feedback (Dinsdale), Sunday, 3 January 2016 08:23 (eight years ago) link

naw, that's where I had to draw the line. only what's discussed in the genre threads are included.
