Review of the new album, "Arctic Moon", which was released in September: https://theindyreview.com/2025/09/11/album-review-chameleons-arctic-moon/ They'd released a couple of one-offs in 2024 which appear on the album ("Where Are You?", which was a bit of a deviation from their norm, and I think one other). "Saviors Are A Dangerous Thing" and "Lady Strange" definitely hearken back to their early roots. Worth a listen for sure, but a step below their mid-80s peak.

There's no point in wasting any more time; let's get the countdown started! Will add standout moments, but leave commentary to a minimum. #50: Yumi Zouma: "Bashville on the Sugar" non-album single Favourite moments: that synthy guitar sound at 1:00 (and passim throughout), my god. Allegedly about public transport in New York, you can feel a constant state of movement with the world rushing past. Perpetual chart darlings on my end, Yumi Zouma are constantly reinventing themselves, always seemingly a couple years ahead of the norm, but never really breaking through. Not their last appearance. #49: Witch Post "Dreaming" Beast (EP): favourite moments: Intro guitar sound; pre-chorus duet, line three with Alaska's falsetto I'm a sucker for male/female duets against an indie backdrop. Reminiscent of Sunflower Bean's work. Swirling fuzzy guitars, sweet lyrics. Reminds me of walking or driving at twilight. #48: Tunde Adebimpe "Somebody New" Thee Black Boltz favourite moments: delivery on the lines "Is there nothing in the world that we can say a-bout this?" and "How can we feed this love?" I was never much of a TV On The Radio fan, so this track catching my attention was a surprise. I'd actually given it a few weeks before giving it a try, and it's just a beautiful earworm with a catchy chorus. Lovely album, glad I gave it a chance. Gotta love the unhinged "in the upside-down version of Soul Train" nature of the video. #47: Alexandra Savior "Unforgivable" Beneath the Lilypad favourite moments: horns in the chorus One of my favourite under-the-radar songstresses, she's delivering Angel Olsen by way of Debbie Reynolds on this, the first song on 'Beneath the Lilypad'. Glorious arrangements, just majestic stuff. Her entire discography is worth a visit. #46: Smerz "You got time and I got money" Big city life favourite moments: right from the jump, "Put your hands around my body" delivery; "Baby, can I see you naked? Even though I love how you dress, yeah" is up there for the best lines of the year; odd theremin sound ~2:35-2:50 I resisted checking out the album because the band name sounded dumb. What a mistake, shan't make that again. Haven't heard much like this release this year. Late night mellow jam. Gorgeous song, lovely album. 50 -- Yumi Zouma - "Bashville on the Sugar" 49 -- Witch Post - "Dreaming" 48 -- Tunde Adebimpe - "Somebody New" 47 -- Alexandra Savior - "Unforgivable" 46 -- Smerz - "You got time and I got money"

Fantastic track, and what immediately attracted me to The Chameleons sound. Quite likely my most listened to song over the years. The atmosphere Burgess & Co are able to create on 'Script of the Bridge' is unparalleled. "A Person Isn't Safe Anywhere These Days" is one of the two or three top songs on that album. The delivery at ~2:06 and the drum change-up before that "you can hear a pindrop" outro are just sublime. Glad to hear there are still people campaigning for them. :) I was glad to see that they were able to rekindle hints of that magic on their surprise release from earlier this year.

One year of Buzzjack contributions down, and I figured I'd jump aboard the bandwagon and start posting my End of Year list for 2025. I'll be adding a few songs at a time over the next several days. May add an album list in once the top 50 songs list is complete. While this is my first year contribution here, I'm not new to compiling personal charts. I've created a weekly songs chart off-and-on since the mid-1990s (with the most recent iteration beginning in late-2016). End of year charts are a relatively recent occurrence, though; I've only starting building those at the appropriate time since 2017, and generally just shared with family (save for the creation of Spotify playlist that I run into the ground for the following few months). The rules, such as they are, aren't hard and fast with the End of Year chart. It's not a points-based system. Appearance (especially high placement) on my weekly chart definitely helps, but is not the be all and end all. The End of Year list tends to reflect those songs that stuck with me, and is largely filled with growers and not of-the-moment earworms. It wouldn't surprise me if there are a few weekly number ones that don't make this chart. One of my favourite things to do when beginning to compile my year ender is to consult other lists, identify some stellar songs that I somehow missed, and try and figure where they would slot in. I'd reckon the makeup is generally 75% my personal chart success, 20% late-year discoveries that slipped under my radar, and a meagre 5% "of-the-moment" and "critical darlings that didn't 100% jive with me". I'm not strict with only one song per artist per release, but I do generally try to limit it as much as possible. There are a handful of artists this year who will likely have two songs appear on the chart. (Just trying to keep from the top 50 just being made up of my five favourite albums). One of my pandemic projects was trying to backfill previous years charts, consulting memory, album releases, other charts, and pure whimsy from playlists to create top 50 lists as far back as the mid-1960s. Please see below the top 5s dating back to 1965. Recent years will undoubtedly give a preview of who to expect to see in this year's End of Year chart.

AV Club certainly gave the record glowing reviews; https://www.avclub.com/dove-ellis-blizzard-album-review Good call on the Rufus Wainwright comparisons, can't help but notice it in the melodies. I also picked up a bit of Keaton Henson. Essential autumnal listening.

Fantastic list so far. A few that are in consideration in my year-ender. I was debating another Water From Your Eyes track for my list, but it's hard to overlook how excellent "Life Signs" is and I may have to rethink. Great Men I Trust choice, hadn't heard Prewn, loved Model/Actriz, and that Maruja record is in contention for my album year-end list. Anxiously awaiting the rest of the countdown :)
