After falling in love with “Bitte Orca” by Dirty Projectors around this time last year, I realized I love Pitchfork-era music. These old year-end lists introduce me to so many forgotten indie rock gems. I don’t think Gen Z remembers how tapped in Pitchfork used to be. This list in particular introduced me to “Dear Science” by TV on the Radio, an energetic and eclectic record that I knew nothing about.
