I was going to do longer descriptions, but woof that takes a lot of time
Overall a strong year for music I think? I didn't realize how relatively underwhelming so many of the anticipated releases were until making this list (Foxing, Manchester Orchestra, Laura Stevenson, The Antlers)
I think I've found that we'll always like the same stuff, just how much we each like it varies (with exceptions of course). Thanks for always pointing me in the direction of good stuff!
Also double commenting because Sowing you absolutely have to check 8, it's phenomenal
Some albums that just missed out:
Sturgill Simpson - The Ballad of Dood and Juanita (another one that underwhelmed)
Tim Kelly - Ride Through the Rain
Hayley Williams - Flowers for Vases / descansas
Lucy Dacus - Home Video
Amigo the Devil - Born Against (yet another underwhelmer)
Kacey Musgraves - star-crossed
Middle Kids - Today We're the Greatest
Nice 2 see 20 here! It reminds me a bit of Big Star at times… (def worth a check if you like that style!) regarding underwhelming new releases I found that 29, 10 and 15 just didn’t click with me sadly. Might check yola and I’m really curious about 8 too!
