Decided it was time to stop dithering and lock 'em in. My final list has one album from 2020, one from 2021, six (!) from 2022 and two from 2024.
Ordered by release date:
And five honourable mentions:
- The Just Joans - The Private Memoirs & Confessions of The Just Joans (2020)
- Bright Eyes - Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was (2020)
- The Antlers - Green to Gold (2021)
- Los Bitchos - Let the Festivities Begin! (2022)
- Sea Power - Everything Was Forever (2022)
CMAT, Young Knives and The Felice Brothers went straight into the final list with no deliberation whatsoever – I strongly recommend those three albums in particular if you’ve not heard them already.
