My Top10 Albums of the Year. At #1, @thecure.com 'Songs of a Lost World'. I saw the band play live in 2022 and that gig brought a new level of appreciation. Hearing the studio versions of familiar songs was special. A wonderful album, worth the 16 year wait.

My Top10 Albums of the Year. At #2, 'Children of the Moon'. Stunning musicianship and layers throughout this album as the California band mixed melody into their blend of screamo/post hardcore/black metal. Essentially, I had 2 #1 albums this year.

My Top10 Albums of the Year. At #3, Glassing 'From The Other Side Of The Mirror'. A truly stunning album that managed to combine beautiful passages of ambience with brutal black metal. Hard to comprehend this seismic music is created by only 3 people.
#TopAlbumsOf2024

My Top10 Albums of the Year. At #4, Blood Incantation 'Absolute Elsewhere'. An utterly absorbing and unique album fusing death metal with prog rock, dreamy passages of stunning synths and even dub. What a journey to travel through.

My Top10 Albums of the Year. At #5, @eyehatethou Thou 'Umbilical'. I found a new tolerance level for music this punishing and heavy with this intense album from the Louisiana sludge band. The waves of crushing guitar are all consuming.
#TopAlbumsOf2024

My Top10 Albums of the Year. At #6, Mono 'Oath'. The final recording made by the legendary Steve Albini. This added to the melancholic tone as Mono created another magical collection of beautiful instrumentals.

My Top10 Albums of the Year. At #7, And So I Watch You From Afar, 'Megafauna'. Revitalised, the local heroes blazed through the various styles they know so well to create this absorbing collection of super riffs and grooves. Still going strong after all these years.

My Top10 Albums of the Year. At #8, Chelsea Wolfe 'She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She'. This haunting collection from Chelsea takes a dreamy trip through electronic atmospherics to stunning effect.

My Top10 Albums of the Year. At #9, Hidden Mothers 'Erosion / Avulsion'. The Sheffield band released this stunning album in November, but their winning way with heaviness and melody won me over quickly. The fusion of vocal styles works so well.

Starting off my Top10 Albums of the Year. At #10, Conchúr White 'Swirling Violets'. From my hometown this remarkably assured debut album is bursting with melody and sumptuous arrangements.
