I did not listen to as much new music this year (though I think I listened to more music overall), but a lot of what I did listen to was pretty excellent.

Fires in the Distance – Air Not Meant for Us
Fires in the Distance came out with an amazing album a few years ago (2020’s Echoes from Deep November) with songs that wormed their way into your brain for days. This year’s Air Not Meant for Us continues this tradition with another slate of catchy, complex, and powerful songs.
A close runner up this year was Katatonia’s A Sky Void of Stars, but Air Not Meant for Us just edged it out.
