Albums of the Year 2024
My 2024 list reflects my most listened to albums released in 2024. With streaming services making consuming music so easy. Each week I tend to listen to a lot of new albums releases. I find many of these albums never get another listen. This alphabetical list, reflects albums I went back to throughout the year. However, there were a handful of albums I returned to time and time again, Porridge Radio’s ‘Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me’, Honeyglaze’s ‘Real Deal’, DEADLETTER’s ‘Hysterical Strength’ and Big Special’s ‘Postindustrial Hometown Blues’ and one album in particular was the my clear favourite….
Album of the year: Sprints, Letter to Self
The first album I listened to this year, was also my favourite. Sprints ‘Letter to Self’ was released the first weekend of the year and was a great post-Christmas tonic. It is sharp, edgy, angry, but it there are also moments of beauty that has meant I have returned to this album time and time again through the year.
