Austen is the managing editor of theneedledrop and editor of the fantano channel. Here's her favorite music of the year!
Eternal Home is seriously impressive in its scope and eclecticism, almost overbearingly so in some pockets.
Fighting Demons sadly isn’t as successful as last year’s Legends Never Die at upholding Juice’s legacy.
Keith didn’t have to go this hard.
Late to the party, but yeah, this is one of the year’s most adventurous pop projects.
Arca has formed an impressive body of work with the KICK series.
Valentine doesn’t offer too much beyond its breakup narrative.
YB has the potential to be better.
The songs on Delta Estácio Blues are quality, varied, and unlike much of anything else this year.
