Welcome back to the Daily Spin. For the uninitiated, this is the series in which I review an album every day of 2025.
As was the case two years ago, my favorite song from each album can be found at the playlist linked here.
Album: Loner (2025)
Artist: Barry Can’t Swim

Really enjoyable.
This isn’t as accessible as earlier BCS works were and have historically been. While those were designed to draw people in, this speaks more to the internal desire at play - it’s pared back chill house.
I wish it were a tad more cohesive - there’s a bit of a mixing of sounds here that comes across more mishmash than medley, but all’s well that ends well. The vast majority of this is cohesive enough that it doesn’t really impede enjoyment, certainly not long enough to have any substantial negative downwind impact, just good vibes.
