Another vintage year for global pop hits. All new acts - well, new as in haven't been on the year-end list before. New Estate have been around for ever; eventually enough people will take notice.
No one's claiming that new band Broken Blossom Threats feature debutantes, but this is their first record and they hit hard enough with inspiration from their teenage favourites to make you dizzy.
There's no way to stream the Livskraft album, for shame, because it's more amazing Gothenburg twisted folk, all litanic verses and hypnosis. If they start a cult - I mean, they could already be a cult - then I'm joining even if it means spending the next 6 months in their cellar.
Oh yeah, I know a couple of these singles came out at the end of 2022 but I waited for them to hit the import racks. You've seen international postage rates, right?
