If you head over to our new Substack newsletter, you can read much more about these records, see a longer list, and keep in touch with DiS by subscribing - as from January I'm sending out weekly album recommendations.
There was no poll involved in creating this list. It's just my personal favourite, the ones that cut the deepest.
As the lone voice of the site nowadays, these were the records that were stuck on repeat on our ghost-ship... and I hope you find a new favourite from these (as that's the only point of listing season, right?!)
