40. Crushed Beaks - Sun Dogs
It’s difficult not to get caught up and swept away in Matt Poile and Alex Morris’ perfectly-constructed wall of noise. For a two piece, it’s quite the racket. Yet in ‘Sun Dogs’, the amps are raised a dial further and an added, rapturous thrill shows its face for the first time. In other words, it’s the perfect example of a step up. Delirious in its shoegaze-era glow, it’s a track that never lets up on its agitated ferocity.

Every week we let our writers recommend the best new music they've heard over the last seven days, but December is a period where your earnest seeker of fresh sounds finds themselves (quite literally) going (or eating) cold turkey. Sure, you may be getting your fix of unheard tunes now, but come Xmas Day you'll be resorting to novelty singles and your nan's 12" collection. In order to recharge their batteries, we got our scribblers to purge the last twelve months of Tracks from their collective hive mind, creating their definitive Top 40 of the year. Then we told them to go away, and do what we told them. This is the end result.
