My 2023 playlist (one track from every album I enjoyed) somehow weighs in at seven-and-a-half hours and 77 tracks. Which is nice, since I like 7. It starts with ambience and ends heavy, via jazz and hip-hop. Which sort of fits the way seasons sit across a year. Which is possibly the most pretentious thing I've ever written.
Picking one favourite album is both difficult and unfair, but SCARING THE HOES is beautiful chaos and I don't think I have skipped a single track on every listen.
It's notable that this is the first year with no appearances from MF DOOM. Aesop Rock has taken up the guest-spot role, with three appearances as well as is own album.
