I have finally listened to more 2024 albums and so I will put them in the other category of this series. So for the albums i heard for the first time this month, my list goes as follows:
- Meteora by Linkin Park
- Good News for People Who Love Bad News by Modest Mouse
- Diamond Eyes by Deftones
- Promises by Floating Points and Pharoah Sanders
- Crack Therapy 4 by RXKNephew
- Speak for Yourself by Imogen Heap
- Fear of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
- Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
- Walk Don't Run by The Ventures
- Going Blank Again by Ride
Now the 2024 albums were a hard list to pick from, but I have highlighted a couple I have gotten around to or released this month specifically.
- Dryleaze Marching Band by ally st. ives- Possibly one of the most soul crushing and entrancing albums, released on new years day and left underneath the bus. It is a fully instrumental concept album about an abusive childhood and learning to deal with it years later.
- Bright Future by Adrianne Lenker- A sad country/folk album that couldn't be any more beautiful. Lenker is one of the best songwriters of the modern day, and it's easy to see with her confessional, but poetically dense lyrics. Simple but complicated, the instrumental takes the background as her unique singing style brings you in like a mother's embrace
- The Collective by Kim Gordon- At 70 years old, Kim Gordon shocks many as she blend noise rock, trap music and phonk to create a materialistic and slutty album about that exact mindset that the modern social media sphere has with consumerism and the obsession of perfection.
- Kyle Gordon is Great! by Kyle Gordon-The funniest comedy album I've heard since Waiting for 2042 by Hari Kondabolu, the musical parody that Kyle brings to the sphere is not only well-researched, an accurate homage to the genres listed, but completely and utterly hilarious within the skits of the albums. The College Radio, as one who is at one, is very very familiar and so great to see.
