Monthly Listening: Nov/Dec 2025
Dec. 30th, 2025 04:10 pmI’ve been battling migraines on and off for the past several weeks, so this is an iosyscore-free zone as much as Maltine Records is trying otherwise.

Polaris noms are out and I realized I’d forgot to rec several Canadian songs I listened to this year, oops! So here’s your regular songs and some extra.

These past two months have been much busier than I was expecting D: Nowadays I usually compose this post as the month goes on but this time I did it all in one go last week.

I spent a lot more time this year revisiting albums from last year and previous than listening to new stuff. The lack of pressure was nice? Nonetheless, I did find some new LPs & EPs to like (slash hyperfocus on) this year.

Finally have my Marshall Willen (cream) so it’s time for:
Are there some songs from 2023 I only listened to in the first week of Jan? Of course not :>

A day late but that’s what I get for boxing week shopping (derogatory). Usually I have my albums roundup written a week in advance too, but I haven’t even started yet! *grimace*

From heathensquirrel:
Make a 20-track comp of your all-time fav tracks, each artist can only feature once. Not the ‘best’ songs, the ones that bring instant joy the second you hear the first note, the ones that give other people the best insight into what stirs your soul.
I also made myself include only one song per anime series.

Posting this a bit early because surely no one’s going to release music on a Sunday. Right?
Also a little bonus this month: a Spotify playlist of the songs performed at the Said the Whale × VSO concert, minus the brand-new Overture — here!
Longer post than usual because I was trying to clear through my albums backlog for my annual round-up and people were rushing to release songs and albums before the end of the year.

As October is generally slower for new releases, this has been a bit of a back catalogue discovery month for me. Faves ★’d.

So I finally got sick with That Thing D: I was doing so well with my streak there. Louis Tomlinson’s new single came out today at 6 am my time, and due to everything going on I didn’t listen to it until several hours later and also missed a bunch of cool merch D: D: But the single didn’t come out in August so it’s going in the September post.
As usual, faves are ★’d.

I didn’t get the chance to dig deeply into any albums this year. A few singles I was obsessed with, sure, but no whole albums or EPs. So the Spotify playlist that is meant to accompany this post turned into a playlist of songs I liked this year in general. And it happens to also feature some songs from albums that are also on this list.
☞ Spotify: 2021
Roughly: 1. alt rock; 18. pop rock; 26. electropop; 37. alt pop; 46. chill pop
Anyway, onto the albums etc! Links below are to Bandcamp.
