Most of our favourites from the final quarter of 2019 have already been covered in our year-end lists, but in the interest of consistency (and satisfying our completist nature), here are ten albums, ten standalone tracks, and twenty music videos that tickled the fancy of Wet Thud during the year's closing months.

Hello all. Time once more for your hebdomadal round-up of the most interesting music videos I caught online this week. New ones from pop queens Beyoncé and Britney Spears are in the bunch, alongside the brand new singles from the soon-to-be-released Coldplay and Rihanna albums. (Yup, she's got another one out next month. Girl doesn't stop.) There's also new clips from indie favourites like Kasabian, Timber Timbre, and Stars, as well as the new one from CANT, the side project of Grizzly Bear bassist Chris Taylor. Something for everyone this week, kids--from big budget pieces to lo-fi treasures, from the masterfully artful to the cheaply shot. It's all gold in its own way.

Dig in then, beginning with the first video lifted from my pick for 'Album of the Week,' M83's "Midnight City"...

M83 "Midnight City" (Mute)
