my favorite album of 2024: Hurray for the Riff Raff - The Past Is Still Alive #bestalbumsof2024 i’m not familiar with any of their other records, but couldn’t stop listening to this with its rich lyricality about coming to terms with one’s past and present, and for being enjoyably catchy

my 2nd favorite album of 2024: Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us #bestalbumsof2024 #icecreampiano last few VW albums took time to grow on me, this was immediate and felt smart, complex, urgent, and had rhythm that hits hard. Couldn’t be more into it

my 5th favorite album of 2024: The Cure - Songs of a Lost World #bestalbumsof2024 #thecure I thought I had to find some cool new acts to make my list more exciting, but then heard the new Cure and was like ‘whatever’. Put another dinosaur on my list. It’s classic Cure intensified, almost industrial

my 6th favorite album of 2024: The Smile - Cutouts #bestalbumsof2024 #thesmile #windows95 when Thom and Jonny release stuff, of course I’m gonna love it. This one has longer songs which stretch out more and breath and change and feel like little journeys
