I was lucky enough to be at Sounds from a Safe Harbour in 2023 to see this beautiful song performed a few days after it was written.
This performance is a beautiful tribute to Eoin French who passed away in September.

It's almost unclassifiable but maybe that's why Night Reign by Arooj Aftab was one of my favourite albums this year

WHO AM I by BERWYN is angry and beautiful. It's going to be in my #5albums24 - the only question is how high.

Both of these will just miss out on my #5albums24 but it's great to hear Kim Gordon and Alan Sparhawk sounding so fresh and innovative, so deep into their careers.

I can't decide if $10 Cowboy by Charley Crockett or Passage du Dedir by Sturgil Simpson/ Johnny Blue Skies was my favourite country album of the year.

I only discovered Doechii recently from her feature on Tyler, The Creator's album and her Alligator Bites Never Heal is a terrific album.

I know it is more of an EP so maybe it doesn't qualify for #5albums24 but I loved Drop 7 by Little Simz

2024 has been a really strong year for Irish music and Sprints got it off to a great start with their debut in January.

#5albums24 @NewDad Madra (2024) For months now, every time I've looked at the @BBC6Music channel 707 screen for the details of an interesting new song, it's been NewDad playing. Promisising Irish dream pop shoegaze band. Great album and Ireland has had a blistering 2024. #NowPIaying

Nia Archives' debut might have brought a few of us old 90s heads right back to the heydeyof jungle, but it was fresh, innovative and catchy as hell.

Can a debut album be the comeback of the year?
Kim Deal's first solo album was heartfelt, warm and surprising.

Tough year for art sales and I depend solely on it for a living, so if you like anything I do, I'd appreciate if you'd keep me in mind when buying gifts for friends or family. If you hate what I do, I'd appreciate if you'd keep me in mind when buying gifts for enemies or nemeses.
