| 1 | Perfume Genius | "Pop Song" | single | We find the places where the membrane separating us from the next universe, or the next truth, are the thinnest, |
| 2 | Caroline Polachek | "Pang" | Pang | and it feels like we can see through, that's how thin, |
| 3 | Kitten | "ME" | Goodbye Honeymoon Phase 5 | like the difference between predicament and salvation is nominal, |
| 4 | Press Club | "Separate Houses" | single | and we could tear through at any moment with our teeth. |
| 5 | FRANKIE | "Underdog" | single | When we don't, it doesn't prove we're wrong to say we can, |
| 6 | IKINÄ | "Lässyä tarinaa" | single | but it suggests we're using language for purposes beyond |
| 7 | Tizzy Bac | "吹動生命的風" | single | or in addition to statement. |
| 8 | Nitroday | "ヘッドセット・キッズ" | single | Listening ought to tell you something about talking. |
| 9 | Utsu-P | "お天道様とドブネズミ" | RENAISSANCE | We imagine these robots as translators, but they're only made of wire and what-if. |
| 10 | GALNERYUS | "THE FOLLOWERS" | single | They don't have your interests at heart, due superficially to the no-heart thing, |
| 11 | ASH DA HERO | "未完成ストーリー" | single | but mostly because translation is rarely the pressing task. |
| 12 | Good Morning America | "フルスロットル" | フルスロットル +1 | You want to know what they're saying, but you should start by wondering what they're seeing. |
| 13 | Jimmy Eat World | "Surviving" | Surviving | Maybe you've been scared, and that's what you know. |
| 14 | BBHF | "Akogare" | single | They hold out a hand. Later you'll have to explain where you got it. |
| 15 | EMPiRE | "RiGHT NOW" | RiGHT NOW +1 | Maybe it made your heart accelerate, |
| 16 | Metalite | "Social Butterflies" | single | or made everything else retreat, |
| 17 | Moriah Formica | "I Hate" | single | which can seem the same if you're dizzy to begin with. |
| 18 | MAN WITH A MISSION | "Dark Crow" | single | Now you wonder. |
| 19 | Rivals | "Supernova" | single | We measure relative velocities and debate which one of us would age faster if we reached impractical speeds, |
| 20 | Pagan Fury | "Broken Heroes" | Warrior Queen 4 | or counterpose speculative outcomes |
| 21 | Scarleth | "Feel the Heat" | single | from meeting mythical beasts. |
| 22 | Lucid. | "Crawl" | Aimless Oceans | Sentiment accumulates. |
| 23 | Dreamhouse | "In the Clouds" | Reverberating Silence | We aspire to weightlessness, heedless of its unsustainability, |
| 24 | Dream State | "Made Up Smile" | Primrose Path | but then sustainability has rarely been anything but a byproduct |
| 25 | SAINTE | "Tough To Love" | bad summer 5 | of love for its own sake. |
| 26 | REXORIA | "The Rise of the Phoenix" | Ice Breaker | So many things that should kill us fail to; |
| 27 | Crimson Sun | "The Beast Within" | single | of course we feel immortal |
| 28 | Cyhra | "Battle From Within" | Battle From Within +1 | and not quite responsible for our fates. |
| 29 | Crystal Eyes | "Side by Side" | single | Odin will push back the impudent seas. |
| 30 | Earth Moves | "Other Voices, Other Rooms" | single | We'll have an app for sandbags, |
| 31 | Lord Mantis | "Qliphotic Alpha" | single | or SeeClickFix will add a category for "salinity in ground water", |
| 32 | Year of the Cobra | "Ash and Dust" | single | or we'll think of a way to say we're sorry at blast volume. |
| 33 | Cleric | "All Death Unseeing" | single | The mountains once believed in their own level composure, |
| 34 | CREATURE | "Black Dog" | HOUND 4 | and now look at them. |
| 35 | Danheim | "Blodfest" | single | There is nobility in looming over the backgrounds of landscape paintings, |
| 36 | The Grand Masquerade | "In the Heart of the Opera" | single | but it's not a life you'd choose for your children. |
| 37 | Obsequiae | "In the Garden of Hyacinths" | single | Canvas elides, |
| 38 | Fen | "Nebula" | single | that's why me make art in the image of things we could just as well see: |
| 39 | Teitanblood | "Leprous Fire" | The Baneful Choir | to separate their complexities |
| 40 | Necronomicon | "From Ashes into the Flesh" | Unus | from their significances, |
| 41 | Brothers of Metal | "Njord" | single | to colocate realms of legends |
| 42 | 梁釗峰 | "天知 - 劇集 "解決師” 主題曲" | single | with disputed lands, |
| 43 | Pretty Maids | "Firesoul Fly" | single | to insist we have time for a guitar solo, |
| 44 | Vita Insomne | "2000 Razones" | single | and that it doesn't matter how many reasons there were, |
| 45 | Alkonost | "Парус" | Парус +1 | to assert our power over essences |
| 46 | Tandra | "Thunder’s Calling" | Time and Eternity | in the same terms with which we admit our powerlessness over conditions. |
| 47 | Rimfrost | "Damned Jaws" | Expedition: Darkness | Doesn't apocalyptic defeat tell you anything about survival? |
| 48 | Ars Amandi | "Defensoras de Pallantia" | single | Don't you also have these portals in the Southern lands? |
| 49 | Nemuer | "Ymir's Death" | Urðarbrunnr | A warming world demands a reduced allegorical dependence on frost, |
| 50 | 1349 | "Abyssos Antithesis" | The Infernal Pathway | and a grim readiness for new plagues. |
| 51 | Street Sects | "Fourteen Frames" | single | We will be taken by rifts, |
| 52 | Lil Darkie | "HAHA" | single | saved by a new generation in modes we don't understand, |
| 53 | Dan Bull | "Goose on the Loose" | Goose on the Loose +2 | and thus can rarely distinguish from parody, |
| 54 | clipping. | "He Dead" | There Existed an Addiction to Blood | even when our mutual lives depend on it. |
| 55 | Sudan Archives | "Glorious" | single | Culture flows; |
| 56 | Jacques Greene | "Serenity" | Dawn Chorus | "appropriation" is a failure to respect its right to movement. |
| 57 | Little Scream | "One Lost Time" | single | But the opposite of imperialism is not isolation, |
| 58 | UNLIMITS | "カーマイン" | 夢幻シンドローム | any more than you need instruction to learn to hear a song without consuming it, |
| 59 | Bray me | "背中合わせ" | Grace Note 6 | or a manual for graceful drowning. |
| 60 | Guerilla Toss | "What Would the Odd Do?" | What Would the Odd Do? 5 | We imagine these transgressions as blows dealt, |
| 61 | COUNTRY YARD | "Don't Worry,We Can Recover" | Greatest Not Hits | but receive them in joy, |
| 62 | Calva Louise | "Sleeper" | single | and then wonder why our enemies' mirrors haven't shattered. |
| 63 | Twin Atlantic | "Novocaine" | single | Facists always win on focus, |
| 64 | Aquarifa | "ephemeral" | single | but lose when left to spend the time they saved |
| 65 | Gåte | "Huldra" | single | in worthless currency. |
| 66 | Erinome | "Low Priest, Pt. 2" | Low Priest | Ambient brutalism is a rarely-aquired taste. |
| 67 | Mass Worship | "Sibylline Divination" | Mass Worship | Evangelists prosper |
| 68 | Alter Bridge | "Godspeed" | Walk The Sky | in the threat and absence of demons. |
| 69 | Marathonmann | "Stigmata" | single | When the demons have the patience to be real, |
| 70 | Francois van Coke | "Ek Probleem" | Dagdrome in Suburbia | we always win. |
| 71 | Turbo | "Változz át!" | Csillagból emberré | Do you have the resolution to be exactly what your frantic denunciators fear? |
| 72 | Kolmas Nainen | "Pelastautukoon ken voi" | Linjassa | They're telling you their weaknesses, because defeat is their only release. |
| 73 | Jenni Mustajärvi | "Mitä et nää, sitä ei oo" | single | The witch hunt can't end until the witches are freed. |
| 74 | YOKKO | "Elder Flow" | single | We find the ways in which we are separated from our enemies |
| 75 | Craig Cardiff | "Lake Michigan" | Cut to Ribbons | by the shortest breaths, |
| 76 | The Animal In Me | "Don't Call Me Angel" | single | by the least air between our lips and theirs, |
| 77 | Brett | "Brilliant Disguise" | single | by distrust inverted into a mortal semblance of faith, |
| 78 | Versus Me | "Cruel Summer" | single | by anything we're even more afraid to admit than they are to allow. |
