As I’ve intoned elsewhere, it’s essentially ludicrous to try and hem the whole of a calendar year’s released music into a quintessential list. These are just songs that stuck out for me, garnered the most replays and showed each artist at one/some of their personal best creative moments…

 

20. J. Walker & the Crossguards – “Driftin’ Around” (Beehive)

19. Mic Write – “Tryna” (self-release)

18. Child Sleep – “Monster” (self-release)

17. 3FT – “Underground” (self-release)

16. Pewter Cub – “King Baby” (Bellyache Records)

15. Drunken Barn Dance – “Welcome College Town Revelers” (Quite Scientific)

13. Lord Scrummage – “We All Need Honey” (self-release)

12. Flint Eastwood – “Secretary” (self-release)
