3 days ago · 1. Arctic Monkeys. 1,009 votes. Hailing from Sheffield, England, this group gained fame through the internet and quickly became a sensation with their clever lyrics and catchy riffs. Their innovative sound combines elements of garage rock, post-punk revival, and Britpop, showcasing their technical prowess in creating memorable hooks.
- MUNA – MUNA. (Saddest Factory) “Used to wear my sadness like a choker, yeah, it had me by the throat / Tonight I feel I’m draped in it, like a loose garment,” proclaims synthpop trio MUNA on their self-titled third LP.
- LÉON. Circles. (LL Entertainment / BMG) Unlike LÉON’s previous releases, Circles also touches on themes outside of love, such as comfort in her own skin on “Soaked” and acceptance of growing older while still feeling the same on “Wishful Thinking”.
- Fanclubwallet. You Have Got to Be Kidding Me. (AWAL) The songs on Fanclubwallet’s You Have Got to Be Kidding Me hum with life and animation, but Judge’s equable tenor purrs clearly through the production (thanks to producer and multi-instrumentalist Michael Watson).
- Thanya Iyer. Rest. (Topshelf Records) In the library of indie music, Thanya Iyer would be shelved in the self-help aisle. It’s a cheesy metaphor, but it’s about the only categorization one could meaningfully tack to the Montreal composer, whose liberal genre borrowing renders labels futile, curating a sound that is timeless and familiar, like the voice of a trusted friend.

- Kero Kero Bonito – Civilisation II
- UV-TV – Always Something
- Baby Boys – Threesome
- Hovvdy – True Love
- Bachelor (Jay Som and Palehound) – Doomin’ Sun
At only three songs, Civilisation II might seem like an odd inclusion on an album survey like this, but anyone who’s heard Kero Kero Bonito’s latest EP can attest, they pack more synthpop goodness into this EP than some bands do for their entire careers. Careening from video game glitch pop (“Well Rested”) to blissed-out hyperpop (“The Princess and...
UV-TV conjure a simpler time. The crude album art, the no-frills production—Always Something is accidentally anachronistic, one for the live TV watchers and goodwill shoppers. Guided by the Primitives and Felt, the trio’s unselfconscious bubbly pop is the secret oasis of the year. These nine songs pull up a drawbridge to whatever the hell the prece...
The album cover for Baby Boys’ Threesome is of three men tonguing a microphone, and it feels like a weirdly apt depiction of the songs contained inside. Comprised of three producers (including two members of the indie rock band Hippo Campus), the group’s first proper studio full-length features a litany of production styles across its rolling visio...
By far the warmest album on the list, True Love is blissed-out indie-pop to score campfire heart-to-hearts and languid canoe jaunts. These 12 tracks have the most concentrated version of the Texan boys’ sound—bright, open acoustic guitar chords and rich two-part vocal harmonies grace every song. As Hovvdy push through a break-up and find contentmen...
Bachelor is the super-duo of Jay Som‘s Melina Duterte and Palehound’s Ellen Kempner—friends, not bandmates, they make a point of clarifying. Their lockdown project, birthed from a Californian rental house in only a fortnight, is often murky and has stacks of moxie. The songwriters sound like they have always been one entity, effortlessly weaving ex...
Dec 2, 2020 · The Legends – The Legends [Golden Islands] The number of “features” listed on the tracklist make it look like hip-hop, and perhaps that’s the idea. The seventh album from Johan Angergård’s...
