MARINA SATTI'S EP IS SO UNDERRATED I'M SO GLAD YOU MENTIONED IT YEAHHHHHHHHHH

[@SpookNukem]

Her videos got 18m views tf do you mean

[@ESC.cherrycola]

​@@SpookNukem basically nobody knows about marina outside of eurovision

[@jakobat]

Marina Satti actually participated in Eurovision with the song ZARI (that is on this EP) and came in 11th place.

[@UnoriginalEurovisionCritic]

Also charted in the UK of all places

[@radharose99]

I recommend the performance. It's fun. Should have placed higher

Seen Maruja live twice now and they’re the best two gigs I’ve ever been to. Plus cus they’re performing in such a small room, the sound hits me in every fibre of my being. Unreal stuff.

[@benamisai-kham5892]

Man, they're probably the most recent rock band that I'm actually rooting for. Their work is awesome and I can't wait for more tbh.

[@Sponch1]

That's sounds great, would love to see them sooner than later in a smaller room before they eventually start doing bigger shows.

[@sharphorn12]

Went in to one of their shows this year not knowing much about the band. I was NOT ready for their energy to say the least, lol. Amazing show.

[@ZMemme]

Yup, plus they do some improv jamming and it's so good

[@lewisbirkett4428]

I wasn't a fan of this EP. I liked other EPs from them but maybe I'm burned out of this modern post punk sound and I don't think the rapping meshed with it

[@prismaperfetto7979]

If you know anything about Greek pop culture you know the 10 minute song in Marina's EP was an ACTUAL cultural reset

[@peter-yh8mm]

Pls explain

[@prismaperfetto7979]

@@peter-yh8mm besides bringing the πανηγύρι vibes (which is like a big very balkan type of festival and has a very district type of music assosiated with it, I'm talking clarinet, vox with massive amounts of delay, traditionals songs being played right after modern greek songs about cheating on someone or smth, etc.) to a contemporary pop sound, it brings the avengers of Greek pop culture in one track. It has Λευτέρης Πανταζής (who is a cult icon of λαϊκό, which is a kind of modern folk with a very distinct aesthetic), Rack and Vlospa (who are huge, relatively new rappers), a sample of fucking Έφη Θώδη (who is a big πανηγύρι music icon, and had made negative comments about Marina prior to this song's release, they eventually worked it out) and a section in spanish for some reason (which slaps). It also has like a billion references to just being Greek, I can't explain it otherwise. There's Yamaha motorcycles mentioned (which is huge Greek village vibes), saying sentences in English with an intense Greek accent, Vlospa says "12άρι, Σάττι" (which is a slang-ish way of saying someone deserves 12 points in the ESC), Πανταζής does a "λυσσάρες" adlib (which is a funny term used to reffer to people BEGGING for the type of nightlife we have around here), Marina references someone trying to sue her for using the syllable TA in Zari (someone who had written a huge song with a rhythmic TA-TA-TA section that literally sounds nothing like Zari, but whatever people here claim syllables too sometimes). All this and I haven't even mentioned half of it, actually insane song.

[@Bkesal14]

That Agriculture EP was soooo good! Truly ecstatic black metal! One of the best shows I saw in Glasgow this year.

[@jimmycarlson4871]

Not that I was checking every metal EP that came out this year but Agriculture was definitely also my EP of the year in that whole genre. So much power and joy in the two metal songs there (I actually prefer In the House of Angel Flesh myself, feels like a more tight and impactful bit of songwriting, and the guitar solo goes so crazy), and the clean tracks are so so down to earth and bittersweet, really makes life stand still when you hear them. I definitely see the parallel between them and Liturgy like you said, but I think their ability to use that sound in the context of a more traditional rock song structure is pretty unique to them and super gratifying, so I wouldn't just think of them as echos. Along with Chat Pile and Cave Sermon, they're one of my favorite metal bands to have a debut LP in the 2020s.

[@elstovon]

I am not always a metal fan, but tried to check out every EP in this list since 15 is pretty approachable. I was absolutely blown away by their project, I am obsessed with the song Living is Easy!

Interesting list. I’d recommend “I will be pretty when I die” as the most haunting avant/indie folk I heard all year, “Fête de la Vanille” as some super refreshing experimental digicore, and “Nourished by Time” for it’s Genesis Owusu-esque chill-as-ice quirky neo-soul.
