Albums from Dry Cleaning and Black Midi were among those that best represented how miserable a year this was.
The Great Languishing has tumbled through dimensions out of joint with time and space: While some 2021 releases actually were pandemic projects, many more had been held back through 2020, in hopes that they’d be able to be backed by tours. Many of this year’s “new” sounds, then, were actually echoes from the beforetimes. Meanwhile, nearly two years confined to a limited spatial range, three-quarters of it my desk and my bed, unhitched me from any tethered sense of place.
One might have supposed a global pandemic would do something similar, but it turned out only to increase our dependency on digital prosthetics.The music that called on me most persuasively in 2021 found a way to disperse some of these layers of existential fog—most frequently through voices. It either offered up something too strikingly human to be subsumed in the churn, or it reflected the churn back to me in a way that heightens my awareness of being within it.
