Bringing up the rear (not that this list is ordered) is the ever-reliable Brizzles @idlesband.bsky.social, still forging new paths on their 5th album. This time they amp up the pop to bring probably their most accessible album to date.

These guys won me over live, but the record still sparkles. Full of dark humour and heartfelt soul. We needed this record this year.

Picked this up off the back of the Mercury nod but could've missed it otherwise, which would've been a shame as it's one of the most entertaining records of the year. Pin sharp but reminds me of why I love DnB so much

These weird little french kids have produced some of the cleanest, tightest, most real psych-metal. Best act I've seen live this year as well. They just seem to love being together doing what they do, and that's a beautiful thing

They are ridiculous and ridiculously brilliant, just how rock and roll should always be.

Weaver continues to delight and surprise, with RnB being folded into the electro-psych mix to tell tales of romance. I love you, let's go home...

Bit of a right turn from their debut, but what a flex! Saturated with grimy disco, the storytelling is sublime. Blackpool Illuminations is probably the most beautiful lyric this year.

For all the hubris of Brat Summer (and Autumn, Winter) it's possible to forget that @charlixcxofficial.bsky.social has for many years been the finest practitioner of pop music in the world. This is her best work to date, a perfect concept album for the concept of being Charli XCX.

Fizzes with youthful energy and anger at a world running out of options. Big year for Irish acts with something to say. This is powerful, lively stuff
