DiS Users' June 2024 Album Of The Month

Music
1

VOTE FOR YOUR TOP FIVE ALBUMS!!

Vote for your favourite five albums. Make your selections clear please as it makes tallying up the scores easier. If you list a whole bunch of albums without making your selections clear I’ll take the first five mentioned as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th. No joint positions please. Sorry to be a pedant.

Your album of the month will get five points, 2nd placed album four points, 3rd placed album three points, 4th placed album two points and 5th one point. If you name only one album I’ll give that five points. If you name two albums I’ll score them with five and four points etc. You get the message.

My choices:

1. Bored At My Grandma’s House - Show & Tell

2. This Is Lorelei - Box For Buddy, Box For Stars

3. Cola - The Gloss

4. Been Stellar - Scream From New York, NY

5. Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse - Dancing On The Edge

Always a lot of great recommendations from you guys about albums that I’ve missed or overlooked. Not sure what’s out tomorrow. I’ll see what you guys are listening to.

Please forgive any shameless bumps of this thread during the week. I’ll keep this thread open until Sunday 7th July and so you’ll have over a week to listen to tomorrow’s releases if there’s anything out before choosing.

Vote now!! (Or later in the week) but make your choices clear please.

STRONG month again. Skee Mask, Fine (think this should be a big album on these boards) & particularly Ben Hauke (cool record if you’re into UK dance music - feat a grown up Katy B!) unlucky to miss out.

1: Nuno Beats: Sai do Coração
2: Mabe Fratti: Sentir Que No Sabes
3: Clara La San: Made Mistakes
4: Charli XCX: Brat
5: Iceboy Violet & Nueen: You Said You’d Hold My Hand Through The Fire

Some really magic records there, IMO.

Another good month to round off a very strong half year for 2024…

  1. Goat Girl - Below The Waste
  2. Skee Mask - Resort
  3. Charli XCX - Brat
  4. Kate Nash - 9 Sad Symphonies

I know a few folk on here were a bit underwhelmed by the last Goat Girl album, but I highly recommend checking this new one out. I think it’s their best and “most mature” yet :+1:
