Hey everyone, Chris here. I’m new-ish to the Sargent House family but more than qualified to talk about the stuff we like. In this season of year-end lists, you might be asking yourself a few things: How can anyone meaningfully consume more than 20 albums a year? Has our media-saturated world fundamentally altered the way we process beauty? How many of these records will we even be talking about a decade from now? Well, we’ve been jacked in to the music machine since January and only one thing’s clear. You don’t need your listicles, you just need this playlist. Stream our staff’s favorite music from 2023 below.

We put out some incredible records this year ourselves. 2023 saw Mutoid Man’s long-awaited Mutants, The Armed completed their album trilogy with Perfect Saviors, Brutus dropped a great single alongside some serious touring, David Eugene Edwards released his breathtaking solo album Hyacinth, and we reissued two classic records from Botch on vinyl. Check out everything we got up to below.
Mutoid Man join Daniel P Carter on BBC Radio 1's Rock Show for a live session from Maida Vale Studios. Check out the stream HERE.

It seems like nearly every band eventually reunites, but the Botch reunion is one that a lot of us thought would never happen. Even after they released their first new song in over 20 years–which guitarist David Knudson says came together unexpectedly and organically–there was still some hesitance to actually play shows. Finally, they tested the waters with a surprise set at longtime producer Matt Bayles’ birthday party in October of 2022, and then played their first proper show since 2002 four months later. This past weekend, they brought their hugely-anticipated reunion tour to NYC for two shows: Friday (11/10) and Saturday (11/11) at Webster Hall.
Whatever hesitance may have existed at one point was clearly shed by the time of this show; Dave Verellen, David Knudson, Brian Cook, and Tim Latona went as hard as you’d hope, sounded larger than life, and seemed genuinely over the moon about the opportunity to play to some of the biggest crowds of their career, two decades after they initially broke up. Brian’s bass tone was monstrous, Tim’s drumming was all power, David Knudson dished out his mathy riffage with all the intensity and precision he had back in the day, and Dave V still commands (and jumps into) the crowd like a natural-born hardcore frontperson. It’s really something how much sound and force they can make with just four people.
