2024 Listens
These are albums that I first discovered in 2024. I've spun them all frequently.
-
Remi Wolf
Pretty good pop music.
-
Hiatus Kaiyote
I'm a big fan of Hiatus Kaiyote. Totally surprised that they released a new album. Respect the experiments, but I'm not groovin' to this one as of yet.
-
Lawrence
They still haven’t captured their live or viral “acoustic” sets on a record, but this studio production is a marked improvement over their prior record. “23” and “Watcha Want”…😍.
-
O.O.O
My daughters are giant K-Pop fans, so I vowed to find some good K-Rock. This is very good K-Rock!
-
Fleet Foxes
Just turned this on. I'm sure it'll be good, yeah?
-
Mei Semones
A good little jam I found via Martin Griffiths.
-
Lake Street Dive
For as much as I loved Obviously, I really don't groove with this one. There's something about the production that just doesn't work for me. I suspect this band would be a great fun live, but some bands just have trouble translating that to a studio recording.
-
Vampire Weekend
I like. The whole family is going to a concert in July. This album should fit in nicely with the set.
-
The Decemberists
Decemberists, but with Squirrel Nut Zippers horns at times. Every song is "normal" length…and then we get to the 70's prog rock closer.
-
Maggie Rogers
Pretty good! If I'm being honest, I'm not fully-grabbed by it yet. This fantastic interview led me here.
-
Maaya Sakamoto
This is all over thematically. I might like that?
-
Bonny Light Horseman
This album feels like it has always been there. I had to double check that the songs weren’t all covers of tunes that I just hadn’t heard before.
Basically listening to this on repeat.
-
Corinne Bailey Rae
This was not what I was expecting!
-
Ben Platt
Getting ready to attend his concert with the family at the end of June. Honey.
-
Kacey Musgraves
Succinct.
-
Billie Eilish
As always, Eilish's albums sound great. Nothing has grabbed me so far. Well, except for "LUNCH". 😆
-
Incubus
Surprisingly surprised by enjoying this one. Morning View is one of my favorites from the time, and there are some nice differences here.
-
François-Xavier Roth, London Symphony Orchestra, Richard Strauss
Purty.
-
Illiterate Light
It's rock. Rock and roll!
-
Metric
I mean also, like the next album…yeah!
-
Metric
On repeat today. Some of these songs hit very effectively. (Looking at you, "Nothing Is Perfect.")
-
Minnesota Orchestra, Osmo Vänskä, Gustav Mahler
This is a very nice rendition.
-
-
Andrea
Listened once and put in my work concentration playlist for the year.
-
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.
