Kevin's 2023 Favorites
I make this list every year. They're not the best albums, just my favorites!
-
Archimède, Frères
They’re French, sing in French, and write super poppy songs you’ll sing along with even if you don’t understand a word they’re saying.
-
Nakhane
Nakhane has a voice you can’t ignore, gorgeous and magnetic. It’ll pull you in, hold you close and then break your heart.
-
SUSS
Like William Tyler, SUSS are writing soundtracks for movies that don’t exist, for sweeping desert vistas and alien cowboys. They make perfect music for deep work.
-
Killer Mike
This album is deeply personal and has the first hip hop song to ever make me cry (MOTHERLESS... find the acoustic video on YouTube).
-
Film School
This band speaks to my early 2000’s indie soul. Fuzzy guitars, catchy tunes, and… just got get lost in it.
-
The Beths
The Beths are new to me this year, and I’m sad it took me this long to discover them. They’re cute without being cloying, with amazing harmonies and very clever lyrics. Strong Dean & Britta or The Submarines vibes.
-
The Rural Alberta Advantage
I think this band invented Stadium Folk. It’s acoustic AND epic and you’ll probably love it.
