2025: Some Favs
It's sort of like if I had to load up a CD wallet with just albums from this year to carry with me into next year these are probably the albums I'd grab. (I'm probably forgetting some. This will annoy me.)
In no particular order. Generally.
-
Adwaith
Album of the year.
-
Oklou
Just...yes. Undeniable? Undeniable.
-
Purity Ring
I love Womb and I'm honestly shocked to say I might love this one about as much.
-
Ninajirachi
"No one in the world knows me better."
-
Momma
That cool feeling when you like a follow-up album more than you liked a first album (which you liked).
-
Miki Berenyi Trio
Weirdly, though Lush should be a formative band for me, I never really listened to them before, which means I came to this album on its own terms, and I loved it, and then I went back, and now Lush is a formative band for me.
-
Erika de Casier
I'm not a big R&B person? I am a big Lifetime person.
-
Stereolab
Any year with new Stereolab isn't all bad.
-
Lights
My kind of pop.
-
Ganser
Tidal tells me I'm Ganser's 16th biggest fan.
-
Kathleen Edwards
How have I never listened to Kathleen Edwards before?
-
Addison Rae
It's, like, fun, right?
-
Barker
Sounds like leaving winter.
-
Steve Hauschildt
Sounds like entering winter.
