2016 Favorite Songs (Numbers 40-31)


Continuing the countdown to my favorite song of the year:

40. Gojira - "Low Lands"



This slow burner from Gojira shows them in full mastery of their craft.

39. Nerve Leak - "DR34M5"



Atmospheric track that lingers long in the brain.

38. Tegan and Sara - "U-Turn"



There were almost too many songs I would have put on here from their album Love You to Death, but this one always got a smile on my face and my booty shaking.

37. EZA - "Eyes for You"



The ache in her voice gets me every time.

36. Usher - "Make U A Believer"



I love all the different textures and layers going on in this track.

35. Boxed In - "Up to You/Down to Me"



There is just something warm and inviting about a Boxed In track, and this one is no exception.

34. Psychic Twin - "Chase You"



I am always fascinated by contrasts. Psychic Twin's evocative and aching vocals mixed with the churn and grind of electronics is particularly striking.

33. Wild Beasts - "Alpha Female"



Wild Beasts amp up the synths and sleaze in this banger.

32. Blood Orange ft. Empress Of - "Best to You"



Their voices complement each other perfectly. I would love for them to do more work together.

31. How to Dress Well - "Lost Youth/Lost You"



I just love the lyrics to this song: "I say I think I know what love is now/I think I kinda figured it out/But then the second that I open my mouth/Gonna change my heart again."
