We’re almost to the halfway point. Who’s in the top 15?
#15 – Sisters of Your Sunshine Vapor – “Godshe”
Detroit’s Sisters of Your Sunshine Vapor released four singles this year, and this was my favorite. It’s bright, trippy, and moves along like a sports car set on cruise control.
#14 – Diagonal – “Negatives”
I’m calling it now. These Chicago shoe gazers are on track to be one of the Next Big Things. This cut blends psychedelia with shoe gaze and we’re all better for it.
#13 – Claude Fontaine – “Pretending He Was You”
Half of this album is dub, and the other half is bossa nova. All of it is good, and this was the first song I heard from it. I swooned.
#12 – Shopping – “Initiative”
Post-punkers Shopping slipped into the end of 2019 with one of the best singles of the year, poking fun at the rat race and The Man with a ripping bass line, typewriter-precise drumming, and that skittering guitar work only they can seem to play.
#11 – Public Practice – “Disposable”
Speaking of post-punk, Public Practice do it very, very well indeed. This single was a delightful treat in the latter half of 2019 and bodes well for hopefully a full album ahead.
We’re onto the top 10 tomorrow!
Keep your mind open.
