Best Album of 2025 was a Royal Rumble between multiple S Tier offerings (I'll post some in the comments) but my Album of the Year based on dozens of front to back listens is 'Crushed' from @highspire.bsky.social Pure #shoegaze & incredibly catchy and hummable, a surpassingly rare combination

let's talk about my favorite albums of the year, starting with 'Crushed' by @highspire.bsky.social, definitely the album I have listened to most #shoegaze is almost never 'catchy' or 'listenable' but this entire LP is both, this band came back from 10 years off and dropped their best record ever

Was surprised to crack this one open and see John Loring was heavily involved with it. Fleeting Joys (John & Rorika) are another one of our local musical treasures, and it always nice to see his either of their names pop up on something new.
