I'm on board the Wet Leg hype train and Chaise Longue was one of my favourites of the year. Glad to see it nominated. Gets my vote here.
I's kinda crazy! They were selling out shows out here way b4 their debut even dropped!!! <Did they have a massive tik tok video or sth. >
I think they're good but they remind me of so many other bands. Like The Chats meet Parquet Courts or sth. I just don't know how or why they exploded like this.
I suspected "arb" would be a bit esoteric for the tournament, but another song that stuck in my head throughout last year.
it is a harmonic music similar to what's going on with Eliane Radigue's recent acoustic works. the beginning is admittedly repetitive soundings, but there's variation in the pulsing beating patterns from minute variations in partial fingerings and perhaps bolstering the harmonics through repeated soundings. but the last few minutes are absolutely angelic, with a kind of wandering lyricism bathed in warm harmonic shimmering. sounds for sound people, not so much song people
I'm going with Arb on this one because it was a vibe even if a bit long. Haven't listened to Wet Leg before now but based off this song I don't think they're my thing at all to be quite honest. _________________ Griselda, by Fashion Rebels 2020's Hip-Hop 2020's Country
I voted for Wet Leg. I am not really feeling either of these songs though. Wet Leg just doesn’t seem to do anything new or unique with this post punk re-re-revival. And that Arb track was kind of cool and minimalistic… but it doesn’t strike me as something I would ever search out or return to. _________________ -Ryan
I didn't know Wet Leg yet but read a positive review of the album today so that's a coincidence. With this song alone I'm not sure yet but it's definitely better than Arb which I consider to be wallpaper music.

I somehow agree with both of these comments haha
Both songs are fine but neither are blowing me away, gonna mull on it some more before voting but leaning towards Chaise Lounge. _________________ 51 Washington, D.C. albums!
