Favourite Songs of 2013
| music
Here are my thirty favourite tracks of 2013. I won’t say ‘best’ because that’d suggest knowledge and objectivity.
- Spotify playlist
- YouTube playlist (some are live recordings rather than the album versions)
While Parquet Courts' sensational Stoned And Starving is way out on top, Chvrches has eight of the thirty. Their debut - The Bones Of What You Believe - is my album of the year.
