This was a tough one!
Here are my #5albums24

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 narrowly missed seeing them live this year but I keep going back to Dance, No One's Watching by the Ezra Collective

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.

I was lucky enough to see Adrienne Lenker live back in April. I bought Bright Future that night and it is a near cert for my #5albums24

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.

If your career consists of just one album, it should be as perfect as this.

This one is a cert to be one of my #5albums80s5
I know you could argue that Zen Arcade is better but I think I love New Day Rising more.

I think I'll join you.
One of the rare double albums that you couldn't make a better single album from.
