| 海外TECH | Engadget | What we listened to in 2025 | https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/music/what-we-listened-to-in-2025-201308584.html?src=rss | If streaming services year in review campaigns have shown us anything it s that we ve spent a staggering amount of time drowning out the hum of everyday life with music podcasts and audio series And with some incredible new releases this year we were really eatin good Here are some of the Engadget team s favorite things we listened to in Spiritbox Tsunami SeaI became aware of Spiritbox in late shortly before the band dropped its latest album Tsunami Sea At the time I was in a deep Sleep Token phase and I don t remember how I stumbled upon Spiritbox but I m sure glad I did Not knowing anything about the band I initially thought it had two singers one for clean vocals and another for the harsh guttural screams nbsp Well I was wrong Vocalist Courtney LaPlante handles it all and she is a force of nature After learning of a new band I do what any self respecting music nerd does I looked up live videos of them on YouTube The way LaPlante seamlessly transitions from airy ambient singing to some of the best growls you ll hear in metal music is effortless And after seeing Spiritbox live in person earlier in December I can attest to her ability to consistently nail both vocal styles for the entirety of an hour long set nbsp My infatuation with Spiritbox isn t just with the vocalist though Guitarist Mike Stringer LaPlante s husband also has a lot of unique abilities to offer Stringer s use of noise and whammy effects in his riffs create a signature style not to mention his mix of nu metal djent and metalcore sensibilities He also has some of the thickest guitar tones I ve ever heard live and I was mesmerized for the full set Stringer s guitar work on Tsunami Sea is a prime example of a nbsp unique musician at the height of his powers nbsp Tsunami Sea takes you on a ride The first two tracks are all out ragers and after a slight respite in Perfect Soul and Keep Sweet the album s best song comes fifth I ve heard LaPlante dedicate it to all the people I love to fucking hate and it s clearly written about her enemies It s also the perfect example of what this band is capable of It s three minutes of LaPlante s screams interlaced with plenty of Stringer s trademark guitar work nbsp The rest of the album showcases the band s ability to blend dynamics with No Loss No Love and Ride The Wave providing the highlights on the back half of the record The album s title track is a great vehicle for LaPlante s clean vocals serving as the introduction to the album s second act If you ve been enamored with Sleep Token this year like I have give Spiritbox a go ーyou won t be sorry you did ーBilly Steele Deputy Editor ReviewsBandsplainI didn t discover Bandsplain in but I definitely listened to it more than any other podcast in terms of total time spent Sure that s because most episodes are over three hours long but I digress Host Yasi Salek does a deep dive on cult bands and iconic artists to ahem bandsplain why people love them There s a deep catalog of back episodes so there s sure to be an in depth analysis of a band you re familiar with But even if you think you know an artist I m willing to bet Salek will divulge parts of the story you weren t aware of nbsp Jimmy Eat World s Clarity is a top all timer for me and Salek had plenty to offer about the narrative around that album I didn t know Her grunge series from was a history lesson I wish I d had in middle school when I first discovered Soundgarden Pearl Jam Alice in Chains and the rest of the lot An older episode about Nine Inch Nails served as the primer for me seeing the band live for the first time in September And that s the thing about the show the back catalog holds up If you re waiting for the next installment to drop there s certainly something in the archives you ll enjoy nbsp No shade to Salek s colleagues at The Ringer but the best episodes of Bandsplain are when the guest is a musician Thursday front man Geoff Rickly was excellent on that Nine Inch Nails episode and Death Cab for Cutie singer Ben Gibbard had me on the edge of my seat when he was on to discuss The La s ーa band I d never heard of before I d also highly recommend the episodes on Oasis and the more recent one on Alanis Morissette But really you can t go wrong starting from anywhere on the episode list ーB S Lucy Dacus Forever is a Feeling nbsp I remember being a teenager and hearing from an adult that they did not religiously seek out research evaluate and introduce new bands and songs into their lives as if all existence would cease without the life sustaining energy of new music I was confused concerned and damn sure that wouldn t happen to me nbsp You know where this story goes Job Kid House Spouse Pets that will die if I don t feed walk play with and or medicate them I allow the algorithm to feed me new songs but rarely does something stick so I end up listening to tracks I bonded with in my teens and twenties nbsp This year Blossom amp Bones a three day music festival in Ghost Ranch New Mexico managed to push through the churn and lodge new music into my brain Along with my kid and some friends I camped among some of the most beautiful landscapes imaginable and ambled over to the stage each evening for performances by Santigold Ani DiFranco and about a dozen more nbsp Lucy Dacus one third of the indie group Boygenius did a one hour set with plenty of songs from her latest album Forever is a Feeling Hearing the songs for the first time I felt like I d been listening to them for years Lilting harmonies and layered strings create a lovely backdrop for Dacus s velvet voice but there s a sharpness to her observations about relationships rejection and sex I ve been looping the album ever since ーAmy Skorheim Senior Reporter Buying AdviceBlanco White So Certain single Early on the last concert of the day at that same festival Blanco White took the stage People were aimlessly milling about and the sun hadn t yet set Kids were playing on the lawn and the smell from the food trucks was intense but I was enrapt by the four people on stage The sad violin and strummy guitars floated with the hand beat drum out into the red hills The music sounded like I felt rooted and wrapped in the harsh beauty of the desert and I was really glad to take that home with me ーA S Martian Revolution nbsp If you re as big a nerd as I am you might know that Leo Tolstoy didn t consider War and Peace to be a novel The story is what most people read for but in the author s mind all the drama was a parable to illustrate his grand theory of history Over the last year history podcaster Mike Duncan has accomplished a similar feat using a medium Tolstoy never imagined Duncan s Revolutions podcast has covered ten different revolutionary upheavals across history starting with the English Civil War and ending with the Russian Revolution After wrapping up the Bolsheviks Duncan took a few episodes to suggest a grand theory of how revolutions unfold For a while it seemed like that was all we d get Then in the middle of he started posting original sci fi ーwithout any indication that this tale which followed future Martians revolting against their corporate overlords on Earth was in any way different from the previous ten seasons Part of what makes the Martian Revolution so excellent is Duncan s deadpan delivery He never once breaks character He rattles off lists of fictional sources apologizes for inaccuracies in prior episodes and introduces made up historical figures with the same gravity he once used to mention George Washington or Simon Bolivar If you re a fan of Revolutions you ll have a blast recognizing character archetypes Mabel Dore is the Liberal Noble Timothy Werner is the Man of Blood But the podcast is great even if you ve never listened to an episode of Revolutions It has an excellent grasp of character and a sense of inevitable tragedy but with moments of joy leavened throughout I certainly hope we don t wind up in the megacorp ruled future of the podcast but if we do it ll be a great consolation if it eventually turns out the way Duncan imagines ーSam Chapman Senior WriterRon Gallo Checkmate nbsp My favorite artists are ones that surprise me and Ron Gallo is a master of reinvention He s dabbled in absurdist punk psychedelia garage rock Beatles tinged pop and now stripped down acoustic music This is not a genre I am typically a fan of Elliott Smith withstanding but Checkmate is something special His lyrical prowess is off the charts here trading his usual wordplay for simple and emotionally gutting truisms about life love and well the end of the world nbsp Of course the lyrics wouldn t work if the songs weren t good The songs are very good The title track is just about the perfect love song with a primary hook that gets lost in your head for weeks Other tracks offer hints of Mac DeMarco Dan Fogelberg Kevin Morby and just about everyone else who has crafted great songs on an acoustic guitar It s fitting that Gallo has found a home on the label Kill Rock Stars which released so much of Elliott Smith s work back in the day As an aside Gallo regularly posts songs about current events on TikTok and other social media platforms which are worth checking out if you like stuff like Jesse Welles ーLawrence Bonk Contributing ReporterDe La Soul Cabin in the SkyThere have been hip hop albums that explored the finality and tragedy of death but not many that truly tackled spirituality and long term grief De La Soul has done just that following the passing of founding member Trugoy the Dove This album serves as a final testament of sorts for Trugoy as he s heavily featured throughout In that way Cabin in the Sky is reminiscent of A Tribe Called Quest s masterpiece We Got It from Here Thank You Your Service which followed the death of rapper Phife Dawg nbsp Like Tribe s modern classic Cabin in the Sky is filled with absolute bangers It features standout beats by DJ Premier Pete Rock Trugoy Jake One and others The rhymes are great and all three primary De La members are given time to shine Guest rappers like Common and Nas got the memo delivering some of their most memorable verses in years Heck even Giancarlo Esposito is on board as the narrator Some reviewers have dinged this album for being too long but come on that s like complaining there s too much pizza It s De La Soul ーL B FKA twigs EusexuaThis was a really good year for new music IMO so much that I ve been finding it pretty difficult to think back and settle on my favorite releases But FKA twigs Eusexua undeniably did some heavy lifting for me pretty much carrying me through the first six or so months of the year without much competition and I ve circled right back to it as the year closes It s an album that somehow seems to meet every vibe It ll have you in club mode and ready for a night of sweaty filthy dancing in under three minutes or feeling bright and upbeat like a midday walk on the first day of spring ーyet it still hits when you re having a good ol car cry nbsp quot Girl Feels Good quot is for sure one of my most played songs of the year followed closely by quot Eusexua quot quot Perfect Stranger quot quot Keep It Hold It quot and quot Striptease quot If ever I can t decide what I m in the mood to listen to I throw this album on and it doesn t disappoint ーCheyenne MacDonald Weekend EditorFaetooth Labyrinthine nbsp Faetooth s sophomore album Labyrinthine is face melting melancholic perfection The band describes its sound as quot fairy doom quot but don t let that first word fool you into thinking it isn t heavy as hell Labyrinthine goes unbelievably hard and will have you feeling like you re eternally wandering a cursed bog surrounded by the wailing of the unfortunate souls who came before you Don t believe me Put on quot White Noise quot This is really an album that should be enjoyed in its entirety though and I can t individually name half the songs on it because I tend to just keep the whole thing playing on rotation ーC M nbsp Orville Peck Appaloosa nbsp This EP is truly a testament to my ability to run my obsessions into the ground because it only came out in mid November and somehow landed on my most listened wrapup for the end of the year which was released some two weeks later It s front loaded with its strongest songs a powerful and kind of haunting trio that just flows beautifully from one into the other quot Dreaded Sundown quot to quot Drift Away quot into quot Atchafalaya quot ft Noah Cyrus As a fan of musicals I also loved the inclusion of quot Maybe This Time quot a cover from Cabaret especially since I was pretty bummed to have missed Peck s stint as the Emcee in Cabaret on Broadway this summer ーC M Case nbsp I got into an audio series kick this year and dove into shows like Unicorn Girl Stalked and more But none of the dramatized fiction I listened to in had me hooked like Case Setting aside that it s voice acted by A listers Julianne Moore and Oscar Isaac which is a phenomenal pairing that won me over on star power alone The best thing about Case is its storytelling nbsp Moore stars as a psychologist meeting Isaac for the first time in a prison interview Isaac has been claiming to be a traveler of sorts and through recorded sessions and voice notes we hear his side of the story as well as her reactions and ultimate involvement in the adventures Every step of the way particularly in the beginning there is clear explanation as to why the exchange is being recorded It isn t necessary but it s helpful in my buying into the realism of the story nbsp It isn t just the method and technical aspects of the storytelling of course Narratively Case is a gripping ride and thanks to its short episodes it s easy to binge really quickly There is certainly a generous use of cliffhangers to help speed things along but I found myself eager to devour the entire series in one commute The story continued to linger in my mind days after I finished both existing seasons and I m hoping the new one drops soon If you re looking for a quick and easy sci fi audio series do not miss Case ー Cherlynn Low Managing EditorSecure Love nbsp I spent a lot of time this year trying to learn more about my attachment style and how it shows up in all the relationships in my life Between Stephanie Rigg s On Attachment podcast the TV show Couples Therapy and all the books on the topic of attachment styles trauma and more I ve consumed them all And while they ve all been helpful in different ways one podcast stuck out to me this year It s hosted by Julie Menanno MA LMFT LCPC creator of the TheSecureRelationship account on Instagram and the author of Secure Love Create a relationship that lasts a lifetime nbsp You can probably tell from that introduction what Menanno s work is all about Relationships from the lens of attachment styles The Secure Love Podcast doesn t just re deliver the same information we ve seen published across various media and platforms though Each season of the podcast it s partway through the second as of this writing sees Menanno work with one couple through their negative cycles using somatic practices to help each partner understand their emotions triggers and reactions Because we re listening to real people talk about real life happenings it s not only easy to relate but listeners often see themselves in these scenarios At the start of each episode too Menanno reads out or plays notes from the audience and you can see how fellow listeners have reacted nbsp This season for example my friend and some other listeners seemed to really dislike Brian the anxious male partner in this season s pair While I ve certainly found some of Brian s ways of speaking borderline offensive I had a lot more sympathy for him as I started seeing his traits in my loved ones I also started to identify with his partner Bethany who Menanno typed as having an avoidant attachment style nbsp As I listened to Bethany and Brian describe the reasons they got into fights and explain where they were coming from suddenly it felt like the world made sense I saw similar patterns and reasonings in my own relationship as well as those of my parents relatives and friends nbsp It is slightly voyeuristic to listen to something so intimate of course but Menanno makes it all educational rather than just entertaining She gently interrupts parts of each episode to tell the audience why she asks certain questions or what she s attempting to achieve by asking Brian or Bethany to sit with their difficult feelings nbsp I found her method familiar as I recently started working with a somatic coach whose approach is similar to Menanno s which is rooted in emotion focused therapy EFT Staying with uncomfortable feelings makes me want to jump out of my skin but being able to endure them question why they arise and then understand where they come from is crucial to helping uncover the thinking that causes them Sometimes they re the result of flawed logic catastrophic thinking or a simple lack of context but often they re very reasonable reactions nbsp If you re looking to understand yourself and your emotions a bit better or just want to get an idea of what EFT or couples therapy sounds like I can t recommend The Secure Love Podcast highly enough ーC L This article originally appeared on Engadget at | 2025-12-26 20:13:08
