Wes Eisold had a busy year. American Nightmare put out the new EP Dedicated to the Next World (get it on limited silver vinyl) and Cold Cave did a bunch of touring, including dates supporting Depeche Mode and The Cult. Wes has now made us a list of his top 23 of 2023, most of which is new albums, but there’s also a couple reissues, Thurston Moore’s book, live shows, and other music-related things. See his full list below.
In addition to our Dedicated to the Next World variant, we’ve also got a new limited half black/half clear vinyl pressing of American Nightmare’s classic 2001 debut LP Background Music.
