New Weird Australia 2020 Playlist

A fkd up playlist for a fkd up year

Dec 30, 2020

We’re writing this on the last day of 2020, and like most of the humans on Earth, we can’t wait to see the back of it. There is one final duty to perform however - the end of year list.

It should be said that we're not into the full-on, year-end List Olympics, where it’s all eyes on first-past-the-post and such like. But we nonetheless want to give a shout-out to the artists and albums we dwelt on in 2020 - those that gave us a reason to smile or to scream in the most fucked-up of years. Neither definitive nor exhaustive, our 2020 list is a purely subjective trawl through our music proclivities for the year - and we're just as intrigued about the music that passed us by.

There's a Buy Music Club list now up so you can disperse your Christmas card money on many well deserving artists; or check out the Soundcloud playlist for a fumble through some of the highlights.

Thanks for supporting New Weird Australian artists in 2020. There are many projects on the boil for the 2021, as well as new episodes of our podcast (including interviews with Shoeb Ahmad and Hextape / Bridget Chappell) on the way in the coming weeks.

Love your work. Stay close.
