Chorus.fm Members EOTY Lists 2021 • Page 10

Can only do a top 5 because I don’t want to put a lot of thought in this:

1) not worth mentioning anymore!
2) Wild Pink - A Billion Little Lights
3) Every Time I Die - Radical
4) Wolf Alice - Blue Weekend
5) The Killers - Pressure Machine

 

The albums I listened to the most that came out in 2021:

Keeton Coffman - Hard Times
Julien Baker - Little Oblivions
Teenage Wrist - Earth Is A Black Hole
CHVRCHES - Screen Violence
Angels and Airwaves - Lifeforms

Hoping to listen to more new music in 2022.

 

Didn’t / doesn’t Teenage Wrist have some pretty serious issues against a member? Just an FYI for anyone who sees them on these lists and thinks of checking them out. Not judging anyone who has them listed, just want to bring visibility to a possible problematic artist when there are other albums from 2021 folks can and should check out by non-problematic artists.

calling on @ItsAndrew as he’s pretty up to speed with most of this stuff.

 

Well also so does Bicycle Inn just fyi

 

WHAT. Fuck.

 

thank you for bringing this to my attention, I had no idea. Just caught up on the thread for the album. Super shitty news.

 

Very unfortunate because I also really enjoyed their album

 

Immediate overreaction to the news: I’m just going to stop listening to music. Like all music. Ugh.

 

Sorry, I’ve never listened to that band so I’m actually unaware.

Edit:

 

God damn, was not aware of the Bicycle Inn stuff. Idk how I missed it.
