Listen To UTR's 2021 End Of Year Playlist

The annual UTR End Of Year Playlist has arrived! We've nearly made it to the end of 2021 and while it's certainly been a rough year for live shows (our second hellscape in a row, this time with a Delta twist), it's been an excellent one for local releases. Showcasing a selection of our team's favourite tracks from Aotearoa's alternative music spectrum over the past twelve months, compiled via an arcane, inscrutable and sometimes brutal office voting system, we sincerely hope you discover some new local faves in the mix — sequenced for your summer listening enjoyment by UTR Ed. Chris Cudby. Tuck in below and please note: the playlist only includes tracks currently available on Spotify (eg. so nothing from Milk's standout 2021 album). If you like what you hear, you can support the artists directly by seeing them live and purchasing their recordings, Bandcamp purchase links for most tracks available HERE...
