WELCOME TO MY TOP THINGS OF WINTER 2021!

For anyone new to the channel or just unfamiliar with the concept, this is a seasonal series in which I ramble about and recommend some of my favourite stuff from the last few months, with the occasional out of season straggler, all the way from the abstract surrealism of things like Joel G.’s ENA and Dead Sound’s Autodale to the horrifying tension of Sweet Home and Cells at Work! CODE BLACK!
