| 1 | Flight of Icarus | "Cleo" | single | The wax wings were just a design sketch. The real ones were carbon-fiber, and fully safety-tested long before Daedalus ever let Icarus fly. Give a parent some credit. |
| 2 | Crashing Atlas | "Nothing Left" | Nothing Left +3 | Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by mistranslation |
| 3 | Sacrament | "Последний мост" | single | of triumph that should have been emotionally clear in the original. |
| 4 | Memoremains | "I Turn To You" | single | We turn ethereal fairytales into material object lessons |
| 5 | Lost Division | "Trapped" | single | in order to sell objects or materials. |
| 6 | Frozen Crown | "Towards the Sun" | single | It's colder in the air, not warmer. |
| 7 | Primal Fear | "Vote of No Confidence" | I Will Be Gone 5 | Do not trust these witnesses to our supposed falls. |
| 8 | Nergard | "From the Cradle to the Grave" | single | We know we flew. |
| 9 | Blackbriar | "Selkie" | single | We know what we saw in and beyond the sea, |
| 10 | Mysterain小雨樂隊 | "古風鈴" | 破墨山谷 | and what we heard in clearer air. |
| 11 | Eir Aoi | "鼓動" | single | We know there are magic countries hidden below the horizon |
| 12 | Ayumi Hamasaki | "23rd Monster" | single | where our problems have been turned into ceramic cats and smashed by the impatient tails of dragons |
| 13 | BiSH | "ZENSHiN ZENREi" | single | and then the shards reassembled into better problems that shred your skin if you try to pick them up, |
| 14 | plums | "ナンバー" | single | and then crumble. |
| 15 | Amamiya Sora | "永遠のAria" | single | We are so thrilled by translation that we sometimes forget to hear the thing said |
| 16 | MYTH & ROID | "BRILLIANT BRIGHT" | BRILLIANT BRIGHT +1 | before tearing it open to find the meaning wrapped, |
| 17 | ael-アエル- | "Hope" | 舞幻 6 | and thus we end up holding fragile hopes in our frantic hands, |
| 18 | DECO*27 | "SEKAI" | single | or binding a fragile world in mechanical bands, |
| 19 | PinocchioP | "KICK-ASS *LITERALLY" | single | without some crucial contextual detail. |
| 20 | miscast | "THE DESTROYER : [catastrophe]" | single | Somewhere in the crumpled paper we tore off this planet when we got it |
| 21 | Siam☆Dream | "Wallflower" | Wallflower +1 | is the little card that explains the beautiful-horrible point of the tornadoes, |
| 22 | Inshow ha | "ヘンて言葉、キライ" | single | and how to turn them off after we've internalized their moral significance, |
| 23 | TrySail | "誰が為に愛は鳴る - TV ver." | single | and our names, |
| 24 | PRSMIN | "world with mine" | world with mine - Negai Traveler 2 | proving that the present is ours. |
| 25 | BIGMAMA | "Best Friend (what will be will be)" | single | Listen first. You can look up the lyrics later, |
| 26 | アルコサイト | "さよなら、桜桃の花" | single | if it still feels like you aren't sure how to feel. |
| 27 | SHE'S | "Flare" | Loud 6 | All our math is retrospective, and thus inherently too late: |
| 28 | RADWIMPS | "Iron Feather" | single | ways of explaining how iron is not subject to marine humidity or solar glare |
| 29 | Novelbright | "ハミングバード" | single | without remembering that the goal is to get off the ground; |
| 30 | tacica | "Nejiro" | single | processional music for allowing the world to pass by us |
| 31 | 8bitBRAIN | "SeNSe oF GuiLT" | single | while we sit with our urge to tear it apart |
| 32 | blackwinterwells | "FROSTBITE" | single | until that becomes a power inside ourselves; |
| 33 | Lontalius | "Carousel" | single | cycles that spin you for only so long |
| 34 | Wicca Phase Springs Eternal | "Lights Out" | single | under twinkling lights. |
| 35 | Anxiety Attacks! | "NEVER FOLD" | single | We never fell, |
| 36 | Skorn3896 | "Dead Kids Club" | single | and these mordant myths of destiny occlude the mundane and meticulous catalogs of responsibility. |
| 37 | PEZZHEAD | "13 Nailzz" | single | We are distracted by inane legends of wax wings |
| 38 | Scarlxrd | "Dxing Me." | single | from the architecture of the Labyrinth, |
| 39 | Crossfaith | "RedZone" | single | and the systemic ways in which halves of our human selves are categorized as animal, |
| 40 | Shiva | "Fuai ni miren , Sachi na ki tegami ." | Catastrophe | and so end up with a trivial tragedy of youth's hubris |
| 41 | HYDE | "ON MY OWN" | single | in place of a structural critique of how social power-entrenchment |
| 42 | Aiolin | "ABSOLUTE EGOISM" | Mermaid Aria -Land Side- 4 | literally undermines the foundations that support it. |
| 43 | Kataan | "Abyss" | single | Caging the minotaur would have been both simpler and kinder. |
| 44 | Dark The Suns | "Shadows in the Void" | Suru Raivosi Sydämeni Pimeydessä | Instead, Daedalus imprisoned him in a maze of infinite inconsequential choices, |
| 45 | Cvlt Ov the Svn | "Hellbound" | single | and thus the rest of us by the idea that this is a threat. |
| 46 | Ætheria Conscientia | "Liturgy for the Ekzunreh" | Corrupted Pillars of Vanity | Of course there is no minotaur, |
| 47 | Cloak of Altering | "I have missed the light so much" | single | and the maze is not complicated, only dark. |
| 48 | Mimi Barks | "SALVATION/THE VOID" | single | Stories of the unverifiable are always tactics for control, |
| 49 | Ayesha Erotica | "Milky" | Barely Legal (Deluxe) | and this is how we should define the obscene: |
| 50 | Snow Tha Product | "Child Support" | single | justifying Cleo's reliance on individual responsibility, |
| 51 | Lakeyah | "Pressure" | In Due Time | as a Gothenburg child or a San Jose adult, |
| 52 | Tkay Maidza | "Syrup" | single | to exonerate the new-world parliaments |
| 53 | Tony Allen | "Stumbling Down" | single | of their colonial guilt. |
| 54 | Alessandra Amoroso | "Sorriso Grande" | single | We gather among ancient ruins, |
| 55 | Felicia Takman | "Nåt dumt" | single | too smugly modern to be much more than astonished that we did not invent everything we have, |
| 56 | Red Mecca | "All Those Stored Errors" | single | and thus misfocused on the logistic disciplines we have perfected |
| 57 | Evan Greer | "Surveillance Capitalism" | Spotify Is Surveillance | among the moral skills we have not. |
| 58 | FRANKIE | "The Catch" | single | But the algorithms do not make decisions. They do not stand in the doorway, poised between stepping in and walking away. |
| 59 | London Grammar | "America" | single | These glorified nations, virtual and real alike, are neither inevitably just nor irredeemable, |
| 60 | Kabza De Small | "Stimela" | RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE | but iterations, methodical or helpless, of sinkingly or transformatively familiar patterns. |
| 61 | Kamo Mphela | "Mamazala" | Nkulunkulu | Consent is always manufactured. That's what we mean by manufacture. |
| 62 | Semi Tee | "Madibuseng" | Tales of the 2 peers | The will that math quantifies is only and always ours. |
| 63 | Ballaké Sissoko | "Guelen" | Djourou | The demons can be identified by their eponymous facility for demonization, |
| 64 | Motta | "E poi finisco per amarti" | single | solipsism and narcissism lovingly entwined, |
| 65 | Comandante Twin | "Sangrar a Borbotones" | single | and by how close inspection of their incendiary skins |
| 66 | Alison Darwin | "Conspiranoia" | Ficción y Realidad | in warm spring sunlight |
| 67 | Lisasinson | "Corazón" | Perdona Mamá | reveals constellatory freckles and the external resonances of the unseen movements of blood and air. |
| 68 | Cuchillas | "La Habitación" | Pasión de Sábado 5 | The demons are among us, created by unreflective regard |
| 69 | Karen Koltrane | "El Poder Ignífugo" | single | and then again by mirrors. |
| 70 | ANTIHELD | "chaos" | DISTURBIA | But if you are given a choice between salvation and chaos |
| 71 | Årabrot | "Carnival of Love" | Norwegian Gothic | then you still have choices. |
| 72 | Kirlian Camera | "Lobotomine 5" | single | Without demons, the gods may merely sublimate. |
| 73 | The Lonely Together | "Dark Water" | single | We inhabit a studio of wax wings on a sunlit coastal hillside. |
| 74 | Itim Na Ulap | "Origami" | single | We fold ourselves into stacked boxes in relentless ranks, |
| 75 | Dan Bull | "Amnesia" | Amnesia +1 | lined with stories to absorb our fears. |
| 76 | Kcin | "Distance from the Sea of Sorrow" | Decade Zero | Listen first. You can look up consequences and remediations later. |
| 77 | Violet Orlandi | "Square Hammer" | Ghosts 2 | The air and the wires are full of joys, |
| 78 | First to Eleven | "My Friends Over You" | single | carried on numeric wavelengths |
| 79 | Evan Greer | "Punk Rock Angel From Montgomery (John Prine)" | Spotify Is Surveillance | by the only sense of divinity that signifies anything in the lives we have |
| 80 | Taylor Swift | "Fearless (Taylor’s Version)" | Fearless (Taylor's Version) | or had once and can make again. |
| 81 | KEiiNO | "DRIVERS LICENSE" | single | We push our little wax cars past and through twisty wax streets, melting and not melting in the streetlights, singing songs of how this might feel until we find the one where it feels like perfect. |
