2025 is coming to a close, which means it's the one time of year that the music magazine where i work allows me to express opinions on the topic
RollingStone = | MUSIC I Best Music of 2025: Staff Picks Miles Klee, Staff Writer 1. No Joy, Bugland 2. GOON, Dream 3 3. Sarah Klang, Beautiful Woman 4. Sedona, Getting Into Heaven 5. New Candys, The Uncanny Extravaganza 6. Lust For Youth and Croatian Amor, All Worlds 7. Mallrat, Light hit my face like a straight right 8. Marina, Princess of Power 9. Great Grandpa, Patience, Moonbeam 10. The Pearly Drops, The Voices Are Coming Back From the moment it dropped, No Joy's Bugland was the album of 2025 for me. A formidable contender for best shoegaze record of this decade, it reveals Jasmine White-Gluz's songwriting to be as surprising, muscular, and immersive as ever (and the live show rips, by the way). Elsewhere, I got hooked on scuzzy psychedelia from GOON and New Candys, and fell for the daydreamy, lighter-than-air hooks of Sedona and Sarah Klang. Mallrat and Pearly Drops both returned with albums of guitar-inflected indietronica that are impossible to categorize and seem recovered from some even stranger future era, while Great Grandpa's latest effort scratches that nostalgic itch for Nineties rock. Finally, it was a pleasure to hear Lust For Youth and Croatian Amor teaming up for a suite of icy Eurobeat tracks - and, of course, every release from pop royalty Marina will find a spot on my best-of-year list.

Best albums of 2025: #1 No Joy “Bugland”
Well, here we are. We’ve finally made it to the last full day and hence, the last post of the year and exactly as planned, we’re going to be talking today about my favourite album of 2025: No Joy’s "Bugland". Originally formed as a duo in Montreal, Canada in 2009 by Jasamine White-Gluz and Laura Lloyd, No Joy has gone through a number of personnel compositions over the years but is these days, for all intents and purposes, the musical vehicle for White-Gluz.

Every year the AllMusic editors discover new and innovative acts pushing the boundaries of sound, texture and rhythm under the indie/alternative umbrella. Old pals like Stereolab, Tortoise, and Pulp (pictured) paved the way for today's acts Wet Leg, Sharp Pins, and The Cords.
