7. Ninajirachi - CSIRAC
It's great to see another Australian artist start to be noticed overseas. This great slab of beats is not the best-known track off Ninajirachi's "I Love My Computer" album, but the ever-evolving tumult caught in the avalanche makes it my favourite track.

Just looked up Pitchfork's top 50 albums of the year and I have heard about 6 of them: Hayden Pedigo, Ichiko Aoba, caroline, Djrum, Geese and uniquely their #1 in Los Thuthanaka.

Seriously, what's the point? These days it's just full of sort of Brisbane people you are trying to get away from.

5. Kelly Moran - Prism Drift
What I first thought of as an overly-sheened piano album ("Don't Trust Mirrors") soon revealed its competing layers, with all the tension of repetition and variation I love. Moran is a new name to me, but she's been added to my back-catalogue backlog.

I did 6 months at Zed, doing Friday night mid-dawns. Just me and the rats. The mid-dawns killed my live music attending so I left the station and finished with broadcasting. (I had come from 7 years of uni radio elsewhere.) But Zed was a great time.

Brisbane community radio station 4ZZZ has withstood political, social and financial pressure for 50 years and it's still thriving as a loud and proud beacon of counterculture.

Watched Bladerunner again last night. Would have been so much better if they had gone with the original idea, that instead of origami unicorns, Edward James Olmos’ character had made balloon animals.

4. Hatchie - Lose It Again
There is nothing wrong with turning on the 90s 4ad reverb, and Hatchie's snappy indie pop does it very well. I am catching up with Australian music of this decade I missed, and Hatchie's new and previous albums have been highlights.

A raw song of loss, and the best wailing solo I heard this year. The entire album is great.

"wonderful twee electronica" is what I wrote in my spreadsheet of albums I heard this year. The comments column is quickly dashed out descriptors. ("us indie was okay" was another example).
Yingtuitive's album was wonderful though.

For me, a collection of tracks I love which may or may not fit in other challenges.
1. Los Thuthanaka - Huayño “Ipi Saxra”
A project by siblings Chuquimamani-Condori & Joshua Chuquimia Crampton is the most glorious mess of noise this year. The beat holds it all together (just).

Satellites spot gathering of gigantic tusked animals on remote Arctic island. It has never been seen before | Discover Wildlife
The crowd of animals was discovered as part of the Walrus from Space project, which is using satellite imagery to explore what might happen to these huge marine mammals as the climate changes.

If my album of the year was purely based on the most tracks I added to my yearly discovery longlist, it would be a 3 way tie between:
Horsegirl - Phonetics On and On
DJ Koze - Music Can Hear Us
Ed Kuepper & Jim White - After The Floor
with 5 tracks each.

When this hit at the height of Covid, it gladdened my heart. Thanking all those who do the hidden work seemed even more poignant as many had to work through lockdowns. Pop can make big statements, and this was the biggest for me this decade.
