ST23 Round 3 Results and Album

Your Round 3 results are in. As in Round 2, all five judges gave their number one spot to a different entrant. But one song earned consistently high scores from all five judges: Cavedwellers takes the top spot with their song "In Prypiat" celebrating the new Chernobyl Power Plant.

Looking at the podium, you'd think the challenge was "Write a song about an impending disaster": The Alleviators take second place with "Only Human", their depiction of Eve with her teeth hovering over the apple; and Celestial Drift comes in third with "It'll Be Okay", the story of a man hunkering down in the face of a hurricane. Rounding out the Final Round slate, fourth place goes to The Pannacotta Army for their celebration of the narrator's disaster of a "Cool Dad".

The full album is now in ranked order, and you can listen on Bandcamp or embedded below.

Hello contestants! This week I did not need to write 3000-5000 words about your songs because I spoke them instead! You can find my reviews as an honorary Third Jerk on the wonderful Two Jerks One Vote podcast.
