I’m of the opinion that there were no great songs by bands starting with a “U” this year. Prove me wrong, U and U and Everyone U Know. As you can see below, GVB-core (a hybrid genre of chillwave, shitgaze, garage, and electro-acoustic ambient/noise) does very well in the heart of the “T” lineup, picking up the 5, 6, and 7 spots.
PART FIVE: “T”
1. Telepathe - “I Can’t Stand It”

Never explain yourself.
Apologize less; think more.

I decided to not order them based on the fact I find it rather...
