Favorite Albums of 2024
The arrival of 2024 brought plenty of great albums. Here are my top picks of the year.
2 Alivë – Yeat
2 Alivë is the start of Yeat’s ascent into the mainstream and plays up his eccentricities.
Halo – Amorphis
Halo does what Amorphis does best: proggy riffs against an emotional blend of clean and unclean vocals.
Striving Toward Oblivion – Vorga
Striving Toward Oblivion is an impressive debut from Vorga as they mix together cosmic melodies with the pummeling force of black metal.

Caprisongs is the first mixtape from FKA Twigs, an adventurous transition to a more traditional pop lane.

Parannoul’s new project Mydreamfever dives into new age and ambient sounds for its first full-length release, Rough and Beautiful Place.
