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.

  1. Adwaith

    Album of the year.

  2. Oklou

    Just...yes. Undeniable? Undeniable.

  3. Purity Ring

    I love Womb and I'm honestly shocked to say I might love this one about as much.

  4. Ninajirachi

    "No one in the world knows me better."

  5. That cool feeling when you like a follow-up album more than you liked a first album (which you liked).

  6. 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.

  7. Erika de Casier

    I'm not a big R&B person? I am a big Lifetime person.

  8. Any year with new Stereolab isn't all bad.

  9. A6
    Lights

    My kind of pop.

  10. Tidal tells me I'm Ganser's 16th biggest fan.

  11. Kathleen Edwards

    How have I never listened to Kathleen Edwards before?

  12. Addison Rae

    It's, like, fun, right?

  13. Sounds like leaving winter.

  14. Steve Hauschildt

    Sounds like entering winter.
