Much as I love Gorilla vs Bear lists & Magdalena Bay the fact that they appear to be heavily linked with the no.1 through Luminelle may raise questions over the objectivity criteria.

The website write up also says
'I've been doing this list for almost 17 years now'

Good to see Sloppy Jane in a list.
Re: EOY 2021 - Gorilla vs Bear (US)
I feel like this debate comes up every year but hope that GvB still counts as they always have excellent under-the-radar stuff on their list. I'm not sure why Magdalena Bay hasn't gotten any attention from other critics so far, I thought their album was a bit of a breakthrough and they have several songs that are among the best of the year in my opinion.

Re: EOY 2021 - Gorilla vs Bear (US)
They claim to have a list of 30 songs when the dual Burial appearance clearly brings it to 31, what a bunch of chumps, am I right?
But seriously, I really hope "Strawberry" shows up on more lists!
