1. Bloom Baby Bloom - Wolf Alice
The most impressive live vocal performance I’ve ever seen. And just cool as hell. #HappyNewYear everybody!

2. NEVER ENOUGH - Turnstile
Not your typical Turnstile song, but man is it beautiful. And it was nearly a toss up between this and my no. 1.

3. People Everywhere ii - Khruangbin
I couldn’t justify putting this higher because it’s a remake, but the original is my favorite electric guitar piece ever and I think this is a bit better.

4. Cuntology 101 - Lambrini Girls
I’ve never seen a crowd lose their collective mind like I did when they queued this up. One of the only times I’ve been glad I was in the balcony. Such great energy.

5. Used To Know - Lord Huron
I think there’s a world in which American country/western might have retained a bit more cultural relevance had they embraced music like Lord Huron makes.

9. Who Laughs Last (feat. Kristen Stewart) - Lord Huron
Yup. That Kristen Stewart. And a truly great song to kick off a live show.

10. Backseat - Balu Brigada
Love the song. Best single moment of live music I’ve seen this year. I’ll never be able to watch the video without thinking of my wife saying “WHY ARE THEY SINGING ABOUT THE BACKSEAT FROM THE FRONT SEAT?!?”

11. Cycles - Beach Bunnny
My favorite track from the album. Lili originally released this as a solo artist 5 or 6 years ago, but Iove this version.
