*Unfortunately, copperplate took down the first two albums she released, dream within a dream being the first one. So I can't link to it or any of its songs.

Attic Ocean is 2/2 so far, this year and last year, and I don't usually put EPs in my top lists. Retriever seems to be garnering them more recognition, especially the song Lilies and Sea.

I've been listening to beabadoobee since her first album, but This Is How Tomorrow Moves pretty quickly became my favorite album of hers.

The kinda mysterious copperplate seems to have gotten her start earlier this year. She released five albums and an EP. Pretty crazy. I guess I'm glad I snagged dream within a dream and réapparaître before she took them down.

Was really happy with NewDad's debut album, and it seems like it's been pretty well received. It has such a cool cover too. Definitely one of the more interesting and memorable covers I've seen in quite awhile. Apparently it became a meme in China where people were recreating it in their own ways.

I've liked Floor Jansen since her days in After Forever, but, admittedly, I haven't been all that into her Nightwish albums (probably doesn't help that I burned out of symphonic metal a long time ago). Yesterwynde was a very pleasant surprise.

I checked out Sabrina Carpenter out of curiosity because a lot of people were talking about her and got addicted to Espresso. I usually only like singles from pop artists, but Short n' Sweet is a fun album with fun, witty lyrics. I used the alternate cover above because I like it more.

A lot of honorable mentions too.

Belle Chen - A Ravel in the Forest

Brittany Bindrim - Velella Velella

Build Buildings - Ecotone

Chelsea Wolfe - She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She

Clinic Stars - Only Hinting

copperplate - contentment

Diffident Daffodils - Indifferent

Future Palace - Distortion

Gavin Turek - Diva of the People

Green Day - Saviors

Iress - Sleep Now, in Reverse

The Last Dinner Party - Prelude to Ecstasy

Lustmord - Much Unseen Is Also Here

Softcult - Heaven

Ulcerate - Cutting the Throat of God
