Berghain - Rosalía feat Björk, Yves Tumor and the British Symphony Orcestra | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htQBS2Ikz6c | No idea how to pitch this, no idea what this even is, but it completely blew me away last week when I heard it

Danger Mouse & Black Thought & Rag'n'Bone Man - UP | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmK978jFxMk | When I listened to this on KEXP earlier, I thought for sure I'd heard this on BNF, but it wasn't in the history, so here's a single released Oct 7th.

ZANMEI || SANZAMEKU || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Psmz6TRWng&list=OLAK5uy_kibE9WhuR9t3GaKxM2qA6N55Dmi_iGwt0 || I put in a track from this album last week, but it played while graham was here, so you didnt get a chance to see, but this a result of me doing research on shows to go while in japan. Very chill japanese ambient prog rock, this track is also complimented very well by the preceeding intro track

Cerrone & Christine and the Queens “Supernature MMXXV” (Purple Disco Machine Remix - 2025 remake/remix c this dance classic with Christine’s awesome vocals. I need to pick songs with shorter names and fewer artists, so many suggestions while I tried to type this. https://youtu.be/swm_q6gUS38

Scatterbrain, by Per Ink, off of Deadnames | https://apink.bandcamp.com/track/scatterbrain-2 | Queer/trans ADHD anthem. Hyperkinetic in keeping with the topic, and resonates hard with my own experience. The whole EP it's off of slaps, and more people need to listen to it.

Moe Shop feat. Jamie Page - Newly Human Feeling https://moeshop.bandcamp.com/track/newly-human-feeling-feat-jamie-paige One of my favorite songs in the year is a fantastic entry in the category of Songs About Robots With Feelings.

'The Wreckage' by Silversun Pickups | https://youtu.be/Zcmd95yKOf4 | tfw a band that used to be a mainstay of your liked songs is about to drop a new album (in 2026, but that's not this single's fault)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h90j6NAnS8U || Back to the Grind - Venjent || I feel like I was late to the party when I first came across Venjent, but he's still very active and had plenty of singles from 2025 worth a listen. His "found audio" (often submitted by fans) D&B tracks are almost always bangers and he seems to have a good sense of humor about himself in his videos which makes the whole experience fun :)

Pinuccio Sciola - pietre sonore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i_iqzhHEpU Not 2025, but weird as hell rock music (no not that kind), and weird is a certain someone's jam, so here ya go.

Annwn Skyline - November Air - https://touched.bandcamp.com/track/november-air-2 - The charity publication Touched Music has been quite a find this year. This particular song *cannot* be from this year since every other song in this album is compiled from the past, but there's no record of this song publishing elsewhere. So I guess it's first available this year?

Agadez - Etran de L'Aïr ( 2025 - 3:56) - If the days are getting colder, this might warm you up. Etran de L’Aïr (or “Stars of the Aïr region”) welcomes you to Agadez, the capital city of Saharan rock. They have been staples of the local wedding circuit for 25 years and are apparently beloved for their dynamic repertoire of hypnotic solos and sun schlazed (???) melodies”. https://etrandelair.bandcamp.com/track/agadez

The Belair Lip Bombs - Again and Again - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XW6NBFWR6rw - Probably still my favourite song off the new 2025 album from my fave band of 2024. Melbourne Indie rock that blends a lot of influences & genres, made cohesive by the lead singer and her great, kinda timeless vocal style.

The Happy Fits - Lovesick #1 (Misery) [3:51]. sure today was dedicated to listening to this band for me, but that just means I should get ya’ll to hear them too. here’s a song ft. 4 vocals, 2 guitars, 1 set of drums, and a cello; it’s a tale of unrequited love with growing energy. https://youtu.be/GFFhXCIXVNQ?si=75-8GkYEVNrFEt3n

HEALTH - YOU DIED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVwvJeEgb78 New banger from HEALTH. A moody groove with a wry and wistful take on the morbid. Spacey and distorted synths.
