Best 5 of 2024

These are the greatest albums of 2024 whether you know it or not!

  1. MJ Lenderman

    It feels like a time capsule. It's sarcastic and funny. It's reference heavy. I really love it. Lyrics and Music are both A+.

  2. Jessica Pratt

    This is a great, short, super melodic album. I have liked/loved Jessica Pratt since her debut. This is her best album.

  3. Laura Marling

    This is a beautiful album. Super strong song writing. This is the third Laura Marling album that I have liked quite a bit and I'm starting to think she knows what she's doing. Listen to No One’s Gonna Love You Like I Can, it might be the most lovely two minutes of the year.

  4. Adrianne Lenker

    She is the best song writer alive and this album is absolutely fantastic. There's one song that I don't like, and I usually skip it, but minus that, these are beautiful songs!

  5. Hurray For The Riff Raff

    This album lands every single time. It's amazing. It is my most played record of the whole year and it's one of those rare records that I can play literally any time and I'll love it. This is how I felt about the debut by Fleet Foxes and a small handful of other albums. It's just bottomlessly enjoyable. Best album of the year without a doubt.
