Honorable MentionsHonorable mentions to Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter's SAVED! for being a late-2023 favorite I didn't hear until this year, and to Chappell Roan for putting out honest-to-god danceable pop music in a year marked by anxiety, full of tortured poets and self-aggrandizing tracks about being in your own head at the club. Get into your dang body and dance already, jeez louise! |
Throughout December, 
An intricate odyssey; a song cycle; an album smacking of wisdom beyond the artist's years. Can't wait to see where Hannah Frances goes next.
Did you ever listen to Duck Stab and think to yourself, "this could use a dose of cumbia"? Man, have I got the record for you.
Danker, uglier, louder, and somehow more compulsively listenable than God's Country, which is really saying something.
Maybe the finest alt-country release of the year (my apologies to Waxahatchee and Sturgill)
Sounds like a ghost's attempt at making brill building pop.
The gnarliest to ever do it are back with acidic swamp metal, or whatever the hell they make down in Louisiana.
Sound's like a ghost's attempt at dabbling in every genre. Otherworldly!
Improvisational jazz guitar concept album about the experience of getting Lasik.
What if Lisa Simpson joined Primus?
Reviving the psychedelic chamber pop tradition in the vein of the Zombies or Slapp Happy.Next entry: CHIRP Radio’s Best of 2024: Nik Hunder
