We have officially reached the Sneaker Pimps / Poe / “pseudo trip hop track on a Garbage album” stage of nineties revivalism, and I for one stand ready to subtly rewrite my entire political and aesthetic platform in order to stand by and behind our new leader with ever more craven enthusiasm.

Tim you should really consider moving to Montreal
I will have to remember to check this out — not technically released here for another 6.5 hours!

Ouri (who I started a thread about the other day) is also from Montreal I believe. I wonder if I have been the subject of an arcane curse

Oh dear I'll have to check that out too! I have to say this is making me feel better about my post about how coffeeshops in Montreal are always playing trip-hop-ish stuff. It's not just because I'm old now lol

also I'm glad someone else has the bad instinct to start new threads during the EOY polls (mine was for Theodora, which I could see you liking but likely are already well aware of)

I am not! Will prioritise.
I love how ridiculous Maara’s lyrics get (all intoned with whispery solemnity): “the crown weighs heavy / light a blunt on the levy”

sapphic shitpost techno album of the year
