Re: 2021 Songs So Far - Round 1.1
Sorry Schüttelbirne but there's a typo. The name of the Spanish band is Sangre de Muerdago ("muerdago" is Spanish for "mistletoe")

Re: 2021 Songs So Far - Round 1.1
Thanks in advance for running this, Schüttelbirne!
1. Rhiannon Giddens | Avalon
2. Alewya | Jagna
3. black midi | Slow (Loud)
4. Lucy Dacus | Triple Dog Dare
5. Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & London Symphony Orchestra | Movement 6
6. Black Country, New Road | Opus
7. Faye Webster | A Dream with a Baseball Player
8. Sangre de Muerdago | Heavy Mental
It's a bit surprising that "Leave the Door Open" didn't make the bracket. I feel like it will be an easy top 10 EOY.

Re: 2021 Songs So Far - Round 1.1
Jane Weaver | Solarised vs. Rhiannon Giddens | Avalon
Avalon is very pretty, but Solarised is my nominee. One of my favorite songs by Jane Weaver and probably her most overtly pop effort yet.
Alewya | Jagna vs. Tyler, the Creator ft. Lil Wayne | HOT WIND BLOWS
Modest Mouse | We Are Between vs. black midi | Slow (Loud)
This one was a blowout - what happened to Modest Mouse's distinct sound? This song sounded like it could have come from any indie/alternative band.
Ja, Panik | Backup vs. Lucy Dacus | Triple Dog Dare
My least favorite matchup of the week.
Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & London Symphony Orchestra | Movement 6 vs. Whispering Sons | Satantango
Both songs are cool, but the ending of Movement 6 is just so stunning.
Magdalena Bay | Chaeri vs. Black Country, New Road | Opus
My top nominee Chaeri drew a brutal matchup this round against a great track from our mid-year album poll winner. I hope folks give it a chance for multiple listens even if Opus advances; it's a grower and the payoff at the end is fantastic.
Doss | Strawberry vs. Faye Webster | A Dream with a Baseball Player
Strawberry is the best Loveless imitation I've heard in a long time (I mean that as a compliment).
