Easy vote for Wildfires, Sault's back to back releases was one of the most important things to happen in 2020, major props to them.
Feels Like The End is ok, nothing extraordinary or groundbreaking though.

I liked Wildfires in the last round but didn’t enjoy a second listen so much. Great instrumentation, but I really dont like the out of tune vocals (sorry if I am imagining this!) I’m okay with the Kestrels track but it hasn’t left so much of an impression on me. I’ll abstain this one.

super close.

I like wildfires a lot. i mostly wasn't a fan of the 2 sault albums released in 2020 but that was a highlight.

This Kestrels track on the other hand is great as well and I just like the dreamy mood and the gauziness of it. Idk, hard to explain. Like the melody and the solo as well.

Kestrels gets my vote.

edit: and, as this is the last match of this round and the last I need to vote on, I want to list my ranking of these songs in Tiers.

All Time First Ballot Hall-Of-Fame Favorite tier:
1. anything by Adrianne Lenker

Great/favorite of the young decade tier:
2. Posing In Bondage by Japanes Breakfast
3. Like I Used To by SVE & Olsen
4. Jesus Lord by Ye
5. Sins of the Father by KA
6. Days Like These by Low
7. Back To Oz by Sufjan Stevens &Angelo De Augustine

Really good tier:
8. Hollywood Nights in Hamburg by Civic
9. The Long Bright Dark by Patrick Shiroishi
10. I Know the End by Phoebe Bridgers
11. Chaise Longue by Wet Leg
12. Feels Like the End by Kestrels
13. Headboard by Lil Ugly Mane
14. el cielo no es de nadie by Ela Minus
15. On Your Side by The Innocence Mission

Quite Solid tier:
16. Narrator by Squid
17. Fade by Aeon Station
18. Wildfires by Sault
19. Hard Drive by Cassandra Jenkins
20. Power Freaks by Jean Dawson

OK tier:
21. Murder Most Foul by Bob Dylan
22. Better Distractions by Faye Webster
23. Fuzz Jam by The Lazy Eyes
24. Lucky Ones (Leaving Laurel Remix) by Luttrell
25. august by Taylor Swift
26. Rozy by Dakh Daughters

Not a fan tier:
27. Dark In Here by The Mountain Goats
28. Ultimate Fighting Champion by The Golden Dregs
29. Desole by Gorillaz

Dislike tier:
30. Smile by Wolf Alice
31. Point and Kill by Little Simz
32. Physical by Dua Lipa

so, yeah, fair to say that Lenker vs Japanese Breakfast match really is breaking my heart a little.

I am happy to admit that you peeps have nominated a few tracks that I have come to love even more than my 2nd nomination (Days Like These"). KA and and that SVE/Angel Olsen song are PARTICULARLY stellar noms that have benefited my life.

Interesting that we have "This Is the End" and "Feels Like the End". Wonder if they'll face each other.

I voted "Wildfires", absolute snapshot of a moment from mid-2020. Unfortunately that moment hasn't changed much, but this is still a great track.
