Favorite Albums of 2024
The arrival of 2024 brought plenty of great albums. Here are my top picks of the year.
Man Alive! builds upon the themes found in King Krule’s The Ooz with a dreamy deviation in the journey.
Tricot’s fourth album Makkuro is their most accessible yet but do they evolve their sound enough?
Mikazuki BIGWAVE’s second album sees a little more experimentation that leads to some magical moments.
Lil Wayne’s latest album Funeral is painfully mediocre and a rather forgettable addition to his prolific output.
Speed Kills is the relentless debut album from Chubby & The Gang that puts a new spin on the pub rock sound.
Patchouli Blue is like a classic film noir with its heavy and dark atmospheres.
児童カルテ is Shinsei Kamattechan’s newest album and it plays heavily into pop sensibilities and cheery overtones.
Cidergirl’s third entry in the Soda Pop Fanclub series is pristine and manages to never fall from its initial high.
Vengeful Spectre’s self-titled debut is impressive as it mixes together Chinese folk music with melodic black metal.
