As a year, 2023 was an abomination. Thankfully, the music makers made some great music for us. New friend and fellow Flenser enthusiast, Wes, hopped on the show to discuss a bunch of 2023 albums we thought were overlooked in the usual music fandom spaces. We each chose four AOTY and then another five runner ups so strap in because this one went long…fuck else you got to do?

Ceasefire Now // Save Gaza // End the Occupation // Free Palestine
