  • Best of 2023!

    It's list season (our favourite time of the year), so we're bringing back our annual 'Best Of' episode for the year that was 2023! With so many incredible artists releasing brilliant records this year, we couldn't miss out on the fun of once again compiling our list of favourite records and chatting about why we loved them so. We listened to countless records in 2023, from artists such as Sufjan Stevens, PJ Harvey, Olivia Rodrigo, Andre 3000, Lana Del Ray, slowdive, Zach Bryan, and more. Not all of them made the list, but we've compiled what we think is the best. Today, we're counting down our Top 20 records from 2023, with some help from friends Tiny Habits, Jono Mata (Sly Withers), Heleina Zara, and What So Not.
