2024

Albums of the year

  1. Shabaka “Perceive its Beauty, Acknowledge its Grace” (a slithery blanket of music)

  2. Adrienne Lenker “Bright Future” (she is on a Dylan-esque run)

  3. Being Dead “EELS” (also the best title, yet far less slithery than #1)

  4. Ellen Reid “Big Majestic” (a real American album)

  5. Jim Nothing “Grey Eyes, Grey Lynn” (favorite throwback sound)

  6. Keaton Henson “Somnombulant Cycle” 

  7. Caroline Shaw Score to “Leonardo da Vinci”

  8. Doeichii “Alligator Bites Never Heal” (Catchiest rap album in a while)

  9. Ariel Sharrat “Never work” (EP but so good. Lyrics hauntingly autoplay whenever I go out to eat)

  10. Getdown Services “Crumbs”

  11. Anastasia Coope “Darning Woman” (such a haunting sound. That first track just sticks with me like an old cobweb)

  12. Blueprint “Chamber Music 2” (not chamber music, but so good)

  13. MJ Lenderman “Manning Fireworks” (Crowd pleaser)

  14. Pat’s Soundhouse “Khaen Solo vol 1&2” (No idea what’s happening here but I liked it)

  15. The Osees ‘Sorcs 80’
