This is part two of an exercise I started last September in the Rosy Overdrive Discord and published the first half of in October.

Pressing Concerns: Pile, Fire Man, Kingbird, Yungatita
Welcome to the first Pressing Concerns of 2024! This is not the first blog post of the new year (the December 2023 playlist/round-up went up on Tuesday), but it’s the first one to (primarily) focus on music from the new year. In previous years, I’ve waited a couple weeks to re-start this column, but thereContinue reading “Pressing Concerns: Pile, Fire Man, Kingbird, Yungatita”

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”
