Hey! How are you? I hope you’re doing well, and I hope your holidays have been full of cheer. New Year’s Eve is tomorrow, so I hope you’ve got some resolutions for the year ahead! Anyway, on to some music. This one’s pretty self-explanatory, I think! I’ve been talking about my favorite albums all year, and it’s finally time to list them all out.
You've made so cool picks, Vaughan. It was so nice to discover new artists for me, like Faye Webster or Julien Baker. I agree that Arlo Parks is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Her "Super Sad Generation" and "Hurt" were stuck on repeat on my headphones in 2020. This list of yours totally made my day 🔥
Great list! Lots of new (to me) stuff to dig through, so thank you for that.
I mentioned it when you wrote about it, but "Jubilee" is just fantastic all the way through. "Be Sweet" likely gets my nod as the best song of 2021. Right track, right time, etc.
I loved "WUSYANAME" when I first heard it. It reminded me of high school, and not being able to place the sample was driving me nuts until I looked it up and saw it was an H-town song. Then everything made sense.
love your writing style and good picks too! the remi wolf album was so perfect for this year and she's great live. also digging the boygenius representation <3 i wrote a similar best of piece over at record store if you want to check it out!
