2024 Listens

These are albums that I first discovered in 2024. I've spun them all frequently.

Sunburned

Illiterate Light

It's rock. Rock and roll!
Formentera

Metric

I mean also, like the next album…yeah!
Formentera II

Metric, Formentera II

On repeat today. Some of these songs hit very effectively. (Looking at you, "Nothing Is Perfect.")
Mahler: Symphony No. 9

Minnesota Orchestra, Osmo Vänskä, Gustav Mahler

This is a very nice rendition.
Messy

Olivia Dean

This has kind of been on repeat as I try to figure out search ads for another product we're working on. Sad that this great music will be tied to search ads in my head! (h/t Adam Wood)
Due in Color

Andrea

Listened once and put in my work concentration playlist for the year.
Polaroid Lovers

Sarah Jarosz

Jarosz is so good. Favorite is "Columbus & 89th". When the soft bass drum kicks in near the end. 🧑‍🍳😘 That song is the reason to own good headphones.
