It's been 3 weeks and I have been exploring some music from this year and a little from the past. Just going to document it and feel free to comment:
Caligula's Horse - Charcoal Grace: Very dense album, it's been a slow grower for me.
glass beach - plastic death: what a strange and crazy album, but I like it. It feels schizophrenic
Caligula's Horse - Bloom: Honestly, 2 listens max right now, so not too much to form an opinion, but some of the other songs beyond what was sent (Firelight and Turntail) feel much different, maybe not as memorable.
The Pineapple Thief - It Leads to This: I am really loving this album. Maybe my favorite of 2024 so far (not much competition yet, but still). It's got that short and sweet factor that I love about most albums.
Ihsahn - Ihsahn (I think, seems like it's s/t): One listen so far, but I really enjoyed the trip it took me on. I will try to get more listens in before more music is released.
Also, 2 other albums I have listened to from 2024:
Kyros - Mannequin: Splent posted this on facebook and I decided to give it a listen, and yeah, fucking amazing. Probably album #2 for me for this year, it could edge out TPT as well.
Persefone - Lingua Ignota: Part I: This is a decent 5 track album, nothing I will want to revisit often after about 6 listens. Recommended from 5/8 peeps.
VOLA...which album is the most popular? I adore Paper Wolf. Same question for Riverside (though try to keep it from 2015-ish to now).
lonestar - How much like Thrill is the rest of New Beginning album by Band-Maid?
