This is my final list, looking back on the songs I’ve found myself playing constantly throughout 2015. Finishing this round-up of the last twelve months, it feels like it’s been a good year for music, and hopefully 2016 will unfold likewise. If you’re curious as to my favourite albums from this year, or my favourite EPs, they’re around here somewhere – or should be.
