and I wanted to have mine be all 'first mentions' but I have to say Beak>, too, I listen to them constantly

If I count Tirzah inside Mica Levi’s output then I too would like to include her in my pox

Maybe:

Actress
Alberto Posadas
Anna S. Þorvaldsdóttir
Chelsea Wolfe
Dordeduh
Lingua Ignota
Liza Lim
Thantifaxath
Tim Hecker
Tomb Mold

have u heard the latest Micachu it's so good (sad happy bad)

Katie Dey a great shout, Black Dresses also emerging as a v impt force

Thantifaxath would maybe be considered for mine if they'd released more than abt 70m of music

Not a dealbreaker as far as I’m concerned (see also: Dordeduh). Besides, it’s more like 95 mins.

Was also tempted to include The Ruins of Beverast. I certainly would have if we were doing the first fifth of the 21st century.

good shout aye

Likewise Grouper.

In the last 5 years, genre-wise: Afrobeats, South African House, electro- or R&B- influenced pop, jazz.
Before that: Hip Hop, MPB and other non-occidental folk-pop, african and latin music

The main evolution in my listening is that I've completely reoriented towards contemporary music and specific genres after a period of great eclectism

Artists:
Julia Holter, Rosalía, Jamila Woods, Kacey Musgraves, Kelsey Lu, Tinashe, Beyoncé, SZA
Wizkid, Samthing Soweto, Burna Boy, Sha Sha, Koffee, Lila Iké
Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Aesop Rock, A tribe called quest
Roisin Murphy, AAL, Susanne Sundfør
Björk, Elza Soares, Joanna Newsom, Klô Pelgag
Warpaint, Drones / TFS

I suppose I must have missed that the X in POX means ten.

Best way I know how to do this is list artist who appeared on my year-end list with some frequency. In which case:

The Mountain Goats
Janelle Monae
Aimee Mann
Kendrick Lamar
Beach Slang
Owen Pallett
Carly Rae Jepsen
Titus Andronicus
Taylor Swift
Chvrches

Mitski
PUP
Weyes Blood
Black Dresses
Richard Dawson
Katie Dey
Selena Gomez
clipping.
ScHoolboy Q
Liturgy

I'm late to the Charli XCX/Carly Rae Jepsen bandwagons (both only struck me in the last couple of years) but their 2010s output still rules.
