I'm home crook today. Neurosis keeping me company.

Neurosis' new one is just incredible. An epic return from the wild.

It's Wednesday so I might as well share my preliminary AOTY list with you.

3 out of the top 4 are from Austria wich is a nice coincidence.

New Genghis Tron coming!
And the first single from their new album is more direct than Dream Weapons (even though I love this record, it diverged from their original recipe; this first title sits somewhere in between their earlier sound and their latest album). Definitely #AOTY material.

The new #Hellripper album was pretty good, but next week the new #Codefendants album is coming out. It’s going to be an absolute banger and is currently the top contender for my #AOTY.

If you haven't heard of the Codefendants yet, give them a spin.

That Neurosis album strikes a nerve I didn’t know I had. Nor that it was that exposed.

#AOTY-contender for sure.

#NP: #NowPlaying:

Pat Metheny - 'Side-Eye III+' (2026)

On his new album #PatMetheny in his new trio format returns to the familiar #PatMethenyGroup sound, complemented by a stunning choral arrangement. Wonderful melodies, fantastic playing as ever. Album of the year #AOTY already? #MethenyIsMagic

Could anybody help me figure out how the Welsh (?) words Hen Ogledd are pronounced?

Update: got it, thanks!
