THE NEW FLESH INDEX: 🩸 Artists That Defined My Week #44 Oct 23rd – Oct 29th, 2026


 
🎧 In terms of this week's listening, it dropped dramatically due the kids being off school due to half term holidays and overall, I didn’t really get the opportunity to check out much new music.  My total plays fell by more than half compared to #43, album count declined further, and listening became concentrated around an even smaller group of records. Despite the lower volume though, Patent's Anomie stood comfortably above everything else, topping both the artist and album charts.  It is an absolute rager and I definitely recommend that you check it out.
