2017 TOP 10 TEN RELEASES

12/17/2017

My favorite way to recall lightheartedly traumatic, ultimately insignificant moments in the past year of this frightening existence is through thinking back to what I spent my time listening to. New releases this year gave me ways to selfishly channel my tumultuous emotions and I could not be more grateful, because I don’t think I’d remember an entire year of time month-to-month if I didn't have certain tracks on repeat for the past few seasons of my life. But speaking from a more general perspective, it seems as if 2017 was the follow up year. Maybe music has been around since before my birth or whatever, but I don’t think this generation of indie music really solidified into the minds of millennial listeners until last year. This year, then, was the follow up to that. The artists we came to love established themselves as more high profile musicians, coming to be known larger circles, being featured in widely followed publications, receiving critical acclaim, and soon opening for mainstream, stadium selling acts. I think, in time, they might be filling those stadiums themselves. So my favorite records of the year are those that have suggested the birth of a new type of youth-oriented, widely appealing music that is ultimately still personal, low-fidelity, and bedroom-esque, as we like it.
