Here’s yr top 20 for the week, brought to you by the Record Hospital. This week, psychedelic shoegazers Votaries maneuver their way into our hearts and up to the top of our charts, while Dark Entries' re-release of Phantom Forth's The EEPP (1984) and Ukranian post-punks Bichkraft continue to battle for top billing. From hardcore to slowcore, we've got it all in our top 20 this week.

This is our last top 20 of the calendar year, as this Monday's usual show will be replaced by RH's annual holiday extravaganza, "A Very Record Hospital Christmas", from 10pm-2am. Be back with us next year to catch the best tracks from each of the top albums every Monday at 10pm on our weekly top 20 show, and keep listening to the Record Hospital every weeknight 10pm-5am.
