2025 Enjoyed Tracks

In 2025, it's fair to say that my consumption of new music slowed. I heard tons of great new creations largely in part to John Paul Bullock's monthly playlists, spending time in the Ampwall community and continuously scouring Bandcamp for #Nashville things. You'll notice in that short list I do not have "finding a bunch of stuff on Spotify." Over the last trip around the sun I have really felt the urge to pull away from that platform and that results in fewer songs being beamed to me from their algorithm. I'm not sad about it.

However, I said things slowed not ceased. I do have a playlist of enjoyed tracks from 2025 that I curated throughout the year. It's not exclusively new releases, it's simply some songs I heard in 2025 and liked. Here it is: In the spirit of JPB's playlists, here's the same content but available on YouTube Music.

A better representation of the music I primarily consume would actually stem from Ampwall or Bandcamp. Looking at my profile on Bandcamp, it looks like I picked up about 280 releases in 2025! That's a lot of music potentially not represented on Spotify. I'd love to make a playlist of my favorites but playlisting on Bandcamp is a terrible experience (mobile only, no thank you). Ampwall has a much better experience but the music isn't there (yet). So, to solve my problem - please tell all your friends to sign up for Ampwall or tell Bandcamp to get it together and add web functionality. Thank you in advance.

That's a lot of rambling just to say - here's some music I enjoyed this year! Put it on shuffle and see if anything piques you interest.
