< 39 / 42 >

Good evening, we'd like to thank Mosquetania for their wonderful hospitality and running an excellent show this month and we're very happy to be a part of this final. Here are the final votes from Persephonia ~

It was a tough choice to order our top 3 this month, all feeling very worthy of the full 18 points but alas there can only be one. As it were the top 2 ended up being between two nations who have already had one 18 from us this year - it is Rolloland who manage to pull off the feat again in the end with their wistful electronic track which gives them a second 18 in the span of three contests after CLANN took the gold in BJSC 132, while Terra Avium settle for 15 with their post-rock epic (as always, a cheat code to high points from us) after getting the full 18 with Varien in BJSC 131. This is the 4th time in total we've given our gold to Rolloland (while they have received our silver and bronze 2 times each), and Terra Avium's medal tally is boosted to 5 golds, 8 silvers and 3 bronzes. Completing the runaway top 3 with 13 points is FSR Rontvia with a sample-laden underground rave style track which marks their first appearance in our top 3 since they also got 13 for another entry in a similar style, DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ in BJSC 113; their last better result from us was a full 18 to Tina Guo in BJSC 93 and their medal tally from us now stands at 3 golds, 1 silver and 5 bronzes. Falling short of top 3 but nonetheless serving a couple more excellent songs which could easily have also been medal contenders in another contest, 12 points go to the earwormy and kooky rap offering from Jadakissnia and 11 go to a punchy slice of Russian electropop from Cor Lupus, marking our highest points to the latter since our 13 points to Aesthetic Perfection in BJSC 99 and only the third time Cor Lupus have got double figure pointage from us in all.

Utopia's glitchy electronic track from the archives lands 10 points, the rather fabulous electronic/rock crossover from Wholune gets 9 points and we hope it lives up to its title (also aside, only just discovered that Charlie Steen is the singer from shame, that's kind of cool x), #00274E's rave banger gets 8 points as we celebrate their proper comeback after last month's buzz entry (their last appearance in our votes being 15 points to Rival Consoles in BJSC 107), and the dance/electronic domination continues to round out the rest of the top 10 with 7 points to the rather hypnotising offering from Fljótavík and 6 points to Kathaldazia who continue to serve consistent quality since their comeback.

Continuing our contractual obligation to vote for all long songs, 5 points go to yet another dance offering from Arcodesia for their first points from us since their comeback (last appearing in our votes when My Nu Leng also got 5 points in BJSC 121). Elëdan's 100th entry outdoes all of the actual anniversary entries for us as their short but sweet (but short xx) banger picks up 4 points. Potential win contenders FARC get 3 points for a good serving of Scandi synthpop, our second time voting for FARC this year (!!1) and their highest points from us since 6 points to Rein in BJSC 112. One of the anniversary entries does end up sneaking in, Republic of Adonia managing to get 2 points (which were quite hard fought as this turned out to be one of the bigger growers of the month for me, I'm a little lukewarm compared to the hype on some of Grimes' earlier material and initially thought this might have been the same!) and finally the mealworm point goes to auto-qualifiers N DNTN who don't replicate the 18 points from last month but still delivered another tune why didn't you send 'DIP N DRIP' though.

TL;DR:

18 Rolloland // Kid Francescoli - Moon
15 Terra Avium // Crows In The Rain - Unfinished Dream Of Sadako
13 FSR Rontvia // ishi vu - This Is Your Life

12 Jadakissnia // Genesis Owusu - The Other Black Dog
11 Cor Lupus // Olga Seryabkina - Chto Zhe Ty Nadelal
10 Utopia // Boards Of Canada - XYZ
9 Wholune // Lynks and Charlie Steen - This Is The Hit
8 #00274E // Bklava - Fired Up (ABSOLUTE. Edit)
7 Fljótavík // India Jordan - For You
6 Kathaldazia // TDJ - Open Air (feat. fknsyd)
5 Arcodesia // Monolink - The Prey (Mind Against Remix)
4 Elëdan // TeZATalks - Panic Attack
3 FARC // Ane Brun - Take Hold Of Me
2 Republic of Adonia // Grimes - REALiTi (Demo)
1 N DNTN // COBRAH - GOOD PUSS

Our commiserations this month:

16th Quintessa // Marta Sango - ¿Qué Más Quieres De Mí?
17th Land of DW // Christina Novelli - Numb
18th Hendinia // moistbreezy - Breathless (Keeping Me Up All Night)

Then like the next ~9 songs after that could be a lower tier of commiseration with not a lot separating them so I'll keep it brief and exclusive x

and nothing to Iz (but he should have qualified for the memes and because it was actually a banger let's not lie)

Thanks for the compliments Bré! <3

Earwormy and kooky is pretty much bang on *.* thanks Bray for the 12! <3 it appears that is my most common score tonight so far.

Thanks Bré for the 5! Still mid-table for now, would be happy to finish that high but not going to expect it.

Thanks Bre, shame no returns as you seem to have developed a knack of sending songs I rank in the top half, but not enough to get points - 3 in a row now!
