[Music] Albums 2024

[jackalbion]

This is a pretty de facto list; I’d prob only add Honeyglaze, Big Special and Vampire Weekend.

Sounds like half the forum will be at MJ Lenderman on 30th May. I’m astonished it isn’t sold out yet.

With a quiet Sunday evening I think I’ve managed to rank them all more specifically, and add some more having a real think about it.

Top 25 Albums of the Year

1. MJ Lenderman - Manning Fireworks
2. Charli XCX - Brat
3. Fontaines D.C. - Romance
4. Kim Gordon - The Collective
5. Crack Cloud - Red Mile
6. English Teacher - This Could Be Texas
7. Goat Girl - Below the Waste
8. Our Brand Could be yr Life - Bodega
9. Geordie Greep - The New Sound
10. Confidence Man - 3AM (LA LA LA)
11. Father John Misty - Mahashmashana
12. Sprints - Letter to Self
13. Yard Act - Where’s My Utopia
14. Katy J Pearson - Someday Now
15. In the Intricate Workings of The System
16. Poetry - Dehd
17. Mannequin Pussy - I Got Heaven

Give a listen to Bilmuri - American Motor Sports.

I wonder what you'll think of Post Yardcore/Y'allternative

Not much to add in terms of albums of the year.

It's probably Beth Gibbons at #1

The Cure album being as good as it is has made me tingle.

Tindersticks had a better than average Tindersticks album i.e. a magnificent album by anyone's standards.

Chystabell & David Lynch is wonderful.

Loved the King Hannah album.

...and Chuck Prophet released an absolute belter that no one much will ever hear.

..... Ooh

And Linda Thompson, ''Proxy Music"

Which has an album cover nearly as good as the Beak> album. Which is another cracker.
