Dogue in teh desert
I sampled a bunch of those and can't say they warrant any further listening from me BUT with that said the Jaimie Branch and theJulie Byrne seem interesting
Here's the 2023 release DdBob recommends instead ( and this is his 2023 album of the year as well)

IN MY BEATO VOICE.....
extra life is serene without being remotely sentimental. It’s refreshing. Where the vague emotional haze of dream pop can become monotonous, extra life is full of moving parts. The EP feels propulsive, even if the basic template behind each song is pretty straightforward. Much of this has to do with the production bricolage: subtle field recordings and samples
MY BEATO VOICE AGAIN
drum machines and a loop of distorted vocals flow into a rush of guitar reverb, the sound of a crackling fire, and a slack-jawed synth line. It’s a little Boards of Canada, a little Souvlaki, a little of that one Clams Casino song with Imogen Heap.

Resident Ragamuffin
I've only purchased two albums released this year, so my list would be really short.

Kick Henry Jackassowski
I recognized four of those names, but I only know who one of them is. Not counting albums I got for free from doom bands I’ve only bought 6 new albums this year, I’m kind of ashamed of that and maybe next year I’ll try doing an album a week from the top of doom charts.
