Bully - A Wonderful Life
The lead singer of Militarie Gun was asked their favorite recent album, he responded with Lucky for you by Bully. Not one to pass up an artist recommendation by an artist, I did the following.

I now own the vinyl, a shirt, and am considering spending $150 to see her open for Suki Waterhouse in December. (Lost my job in November, I’ll catch her next time.)
Los Campesinos! - kms
All Hell, Los Campesino!’s 7th studio album, ended up in contention for my most listened to album of the year, penultimate to the above. They recently followed it up with a “shucked” EP, More Hell.
Snot - Snot
Snot was new to me as well, incredibly sad story, lead singer was killed in a traffic accident shortly before recording the vocals for Sont’s second album. Worst of all, his dog was also in the car.
All dogs go to heaven. The album cover lives forever.
