Best of 2024
Here is that little souvenir of a terrible year and the strength to go on…
The Cure — Songs of a Lost World
Intensely powerful and one of their finest works.
Blueboy — Deux
Paul and Gemma reunite long after Paul’s untimely passing to remind us just how beautiful pop music can be.
Hovvdy — Live at Julie’s
Nevermind the s\t LP that is on many top 10's, this set of songs are the true gems, simple and pure.
Waxahatchee — Tigers Blood
She’s become so confident in her voice and it shines on this record.
MJ Lenderman — Manning Fireworks
A new american poet for the trailer park set.
Fine — Rocky Top Ballads
A dreamy, placeless debut that captures ephemeral moments through gauzy pop, weaving electronic and Americana influences into an entrancing sonic landscape — ed note: this was written by AI… so 2024
Hammock — From the Void
“The muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone”.
Max Richter — In a Landscape
We visited Japan this year and this album reminds me of quiet solitude of a japanese garden. Must akin to his masterpiece ‘the blue notebooks’. blissful.
Jónsi — First Light
Yet another album on this list designed to quietly mend a broken heart.
Khruangbin — A La Sala
Named after an aeroplane… please take me away from here.
Babehoven — Water’s Here In You
A lovely impressionistic album full of aching vignettes.
Hazel English — Real Life
Spotify somehow pushes new music my way and this one crept in like an earworm.
Free Range — Practice
A hidden gem. Stunning lyrics full of hurt and healing.
Gints Zilbalodis — Flow (OST)
This film was absolutely astonishing and the soundtrack is as lush as the visuals to make a masterpiece.
❤️🩹 Fare thee well, love you more than words can tell.
