December is here, and with it comes the annual tradition of look back into the year and reflect on how it was musically.
At 3345, we’re big fans of playlists and year-end recaps, so naturally, we couldn’t let the year end without compiling our own.
Below, you’ll find the reissues or archival records that stood out to us over the course of the year.

Loveliescrushing - Bloweyelashwish
Originally recorded in 1992 and first issued in the mid-’90s, Bloweyelashwish was the debut statement from American duo Lovesliescrushing, whose dense, reverberant blend of shoegaze, ambient, and psychedelic textures has long been a cult touchstone for listeners drawn to immersive sound worlds.
Numero Group issued an expanded and remastered edition of the album, bringing it back into circulation after decades out of print. This new version doubles the original material into a 2xLP set, with five previously unreleased archival tracks from the same sessions alongside a replica postcard and printed lyrics.
Sonically, Bloweyelashwish is a weightless drift. Its hazy expanses draw clear lines to influences like Cocteau Twins and Spacemen 3, but also to later experimental ambient and noise artists who looked to blur the boundaries between composition and texture.

Moodymann - Black Mahogany
Originally released in 2004, Black Mahogani stands as one of Moodymann’s (Kenny Dixon Jr.) most celebrated works; a record that helped define the deeper, more expressive dimensions of Detroit house by fusing jazz, soul, funk, and sample-laden club music.
This year’s reissue brings the album back into circulation on vinyl and in wider formats for the first time in over two decades, a long-awaited return for collectors and a new generation of listener
The music oscillates between four-on-the-floor house rhythms and lush, jazz-tinged interludes, with warm Rhodes, laid-back grooves, and the kind of deeply expressive layering that has earned the album enduring reverence among DJs, dancers, and and broader music lovers alike.

Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska 82: Expanded Edition
The 2025 Expanded Edition of Nebraska turns what was already one of Bruce Springsteen’s most iconic albums into a comprehensive archival document of a pivotal moment in his career.
Originally released in 1982 as a stark, intimate set of home-recorded demos, Nebraska was recorded on a four-track TASCAM in Springsteen’s New Jersey home and became a touchstone for lo-fi, narrative-driven rock songcraft.
The Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition, released in October, alongside the biographical film Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, expands the record into a five-disc boxed set that reframes the album’s creation and legacy. It includes a remastered version of the original album, a collection of solo acoustic outtakes (including rarities like “On the Prowl” and “Gun in Every Home”), the long-rumored Electric Nebraska sessions with the E Street Band, and a live performance filmed at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, New Jersey.

Coil - Black Antlers
Originally issued in 2004 as a limited CD-R sold on tour by the UK experimental outfit Coil, Black Antlers occupies a strange and evocative corner of the band’s discography: long circulating among collectors, partly unfinished, and steeped in the shadow of its creators’ later fate. In 2025, Dais Records remastered and reissued the record as a proper 2×LP release, making what was once a rare artifact widely available for the first time in decades.
Recorded between 2003 and 2004 during a period of heightened creative energy for Coil, Black Antlers marked a departure from the group’s earlier, more amorphous experimental electronics toward a more rhythmic, taut, and structurally defined sound — rhythmic pulses, hypnotic loops, and a blend of acoustic and electronic instrumentation that shifted their palette while retaining the band’s uncanny atmosphere.

Billy Woods - Today, I Wrote Nothing
Originally released in March 2015, Today, I Wrote Nothing marked a deliberate and idiosyncratic pivot in Billy Woods’s solo catalogue. Coming a few years after the cult acclaim of History Will Absolve Me and the underground praise of his collaboration with Blockhead (Dour Candy), Today, I Wrote Nothing was something of a left turn: 24 tracks of modular, fragmented rap that blurred beats, spoken word cadences, skittering samples, and poetic abstractions into a coherent yet elusive whole.
The 2025 10th anniversary reissue , pressed as a 2×LP on limited clear vinyl through Backwoodz Studioz / Rhymesayers, restores the album to physical circulation and gives both longtime fans and new listeners a chance to experience it in a refreshed format.
