Even though it’s the final week of 2023, we’ve got a surprisingly full schedule on the blog this week. Yesterday, we unveiled Rosy Overdrive’s Favorite Reissues and Compilations of 2023, and today we get another Pressing Concerns, featuring a new album from Axis: Sova, new EPs from Sugardeer and Cast of Thousands, and a GuidedContinue reading “Pressing Concerns: An Academy of Lies, Axis: Sova, Sugardeer, Cast of Thousands”

Rosy Overdrive’s Favorite Reissues and Compilations of 2023
Today, we’re closing out Rosy Overdrive’s 2023 editorial lists with my favorite reissues and compilations from this year. As this list encompasses a fairly wide range of releases, it is unranked, unlike my Top Albums and Top EPs lists. This isn’t the end of all year-end lists on the site, however: the results of theContinue reading “Rosy Overdrive’s Favorite Reissues and Compilations of 2023”

Rosy Overdrive’s Top 25 EPs of 2023
We’re still only a week out from the music world-shattering publication of Rosy Overdrive’s Top 100 Albums of 2023, but now it is time to take a look at a shorter but still very substantial list/release format. 2023 was another great year for EPs, and I’ve done my hardest to narrow my favorites down toContinue reading “Rosy Overdrive’s Top 25 EPs of 2023”
Pressing Concerns: The Human Hearts, Dan Darrah & The Rain, The Age of Colored Lizards, Bounaly
