so does that disqualify a song to get into your top list?

In the context of the nominations playlist a month ago it was generally a good thing for a track to leave some sort of memory trace. Vast numbers didn't. I'm not completely sold on the vocal style, but the chord progression and vocal melody (plus woodwind interjections?!) my brain has just conjured all over again remain appealing.

Girl Ray album was (spoiler) high on my albums. I was the "Enda" voter, I'm not familiar beyond a surface level with Sigur Ros and that comparison is wild to me and I would love to hear more about it?

I just realised I saw Sasami on TV maybe two weeks ago introducing the "Not the Time" video, where it (apparently) made more of an impression than in the noms playlist. I guess she toured the antipodes recently. Anyway, I would totally have dug that as a yoof in, like, 1992. Maybe I'll let the synthetic nostalgia sway me here...

that was more of a gut feeling. enda to me has a similar cosmic, mystical, all encompassing feel as the sigur ros pieces from their 1st album agaetis byrjun. slowly developping music which actually should be my cup of tea on paper but in this case somehow isn't. in that "genre" my fave band is low, actually.

Seems I forgot to vote for mine, but now I find out it was released late 2018 so perhaps it's for the best. Still rad though, shades of Broadcast, Barbara Manning + an instrumental bit that pairs off all my fave string sounds :)
