18 x 2018

Here’s a playlist with songs from our 18 favorite records of 2018, filled with strong women, sensitive punks, beautiful noise in a troubled world, but also sweetness, nostalgia, sadness, fears, desires, hopes, and maybe a hint of joy.

Apart from our #1, the order doesn’t reflect any particular ranking, other than the inner playlist logic.

Listen via Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, or YouTube directly via the below player.
