Neko Case ~ Neon Grey Midnight Green. Decades into her music career, Neko Case is still challenging herself. Neko is happy to be alive and at the height of her creativity. Her evocative lyrics touch on grief and gratitude. #AOTY #AOTY2025
#musicsky #bestof2025
Rosalía ~ Lux. Sounds like absolutely nothing else in music right now. Dense, avant-garde classical pop. A spiritual journey through the lens of female saints and poets. Along with her powerful, versatile vocals, this is a singular work from a visionary artist.
#musicsky #bestof2025
The Weather Station ~ Humanhood. Jazzy soundscapes with acoustic and electronic textures. A search for self and meaning in a chaotic world. Tamara Lindeman's vocals are another instrument, a keystone to this powerful album.
#musicsky #bestof2025
Basia Bulat ~ Basia's Palace. A change in sound with a little less folk, but growing into a lush, dreamy synth-infused pop. Dance tunes and gorgeous ballads.
#musicsky #bestof2025
Ron Sexsmith ~ Hangover Terrace. Another excellent album of well-crafted folk-pop songs. His lyrics are honest, sometimes funny; with beautiful melodies. Memories of childhood reflect my own. Had a cigarette in one hand and a cocktail in the other 🎶
#musicsky #bestof2025
Amy Millan ~ I Went To Find You. Fifteen years on from her last solo album, the Stars and Broken Social Scene member encourages people to slow down. A tender, dreamlike journey through memory, grief and acceptance. A beautiful work of synth-pop.
#musicsky #bestof2025
Florence + the Machine ~ Everybody Scream. Songs of heartbreak, with moments of hope. Rooted in themes of witchcraft and mysticism, with Florence Welch's powerful vocals.

“Maybe one day we'll be strong enough
To build it back again
Build the peaceable kingdom
Back again
Build it back again”
—Patti Smith performs “Peaceable Kingdom,” on Colbert’s Late Show, 11/6/25
My cousin was friends with her father and I met him a couple times. He was one of a kind!
First saw it at TIFF Midnight Madness. From the first note of music the anxiety doesn’t let up. Great film!
