The 34th Best Album of 2025
The 34th best album of this year came out of nowhere, with a wild mix of art rock, indie pop, and emo/screamo. This is Apiary by Gingerbee.
This album dropped in August and was consistently among the trending albums on rateyourmusic so I was like eh I gotta check it out. Then I listened and it was fresh and new and light and breezy at times then the piercing screams come in like a lightning strike. Its weird, but I think it mostly works. And yeah its unlike anything else I listened to this year which is always worth acclaim. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
