Chamber Pop/ Pop Rock
Well one of my all time favorite bands dropped their best album since Pinkerton so of course it's at the top. This album perfecly encapsulates what it is like to be a human being during this age and while living in a worldwide pandemic.
Fav. Tracks: Grapes of Wrath, Numbers, Bird With a Broken Wing [First added to this chart: 01/29/2021]

Emo/ Shoegaze
This album has blown me away from the start. With its noisy guitars, heavy percussion, and angsty vocals you are in for quite a treat. [First added to this chart: 03/10/2021]
