As has become my own little annual tradition, in the vein of John Peel’s Festive 50, this thread is my top 15 albums of the 2025. Mostly dream pop and chamber folk, no apologies to lovers of mainstream pop, but the gems are off the beaten track.

I’ve got covid 😩
Like bad manflu + feeling very tired. I have asthma so the cough is awful. But, for me, it’s been much less severe than the 1st or 2nd ones. I hope this variant doesn’t cause serious problems to the more vulnerable. This is trending on X:

From Dubstar to Brighton, Steve Hillier just released a banging new dance track 🪩🕺🏻
🔥 IT'S HERE. 🔥
The new POLITEK single just landed on all platform. Built for sweat-soaked dance floors & late-night chaos, with Suki on vocals in a famous language almost no one speaks.
Think you can crack what she’s saying? Prove it. And PLAY. IT. LOUD!
