One or two of your fav songs of 2024

don’t go crazy tho.

I really love this track from James K, it’s a 90s trip hop throwback but it’s also more than that. I think it’s really pretty, she’s been on a few other tracks from good artists (e.g this track from Priori) and there’s a bit of a buzz around her, so I’m expecting a big album in 2025 (side note but Objekt closed a set I went to with this track, which was v fun)

Speaking of Objekt, this DjRUM remix of Ganzfeld is amazing. Love both artists, think DjRUM has that Burial quality of taking you on a journey through a bunch of unexpected emotions in one track. Probably could’ve picked Crawl off his recent EP but that feels more like an acquired taste.

I’ve also listened to this emo witch house track more than is healthy. Love this kinda thing

Yeah that’s three but it’s my thread.

A Glasgow duo whose album was fun in parts but this track is one that has stuck with me more than almost any other this year. Hard to define what makes it so good - the music is a warm, peaceful loop of DIY indie style ambient, but the the spoken word vocals from Jessica Higgins absolutely make it - hypnotically melodic as thoughts emerge and tail off and return and repeat - this is a big warm hug of late night chill-out bliss.

Another slow, late night track here, but this time it’s something far more surreal, with a winding, illbient beat and an alluring wonkily-pitched vocal hook resulting in something akin to a druggy, dubby trip-hop passenger ride.

If people don’t explain why I should check out their favourite tracks I’m not into it.
Blind YouTube links are pointless.

Dress of Stillness by Erika Angel. Amazing voice, awesome strings and just a really cool tense atmosphere.

Song for anima mundi by il sogno del marinaio. The production is everything in this track, creates so much of the space and tension/release.

I think the fact that @BigAl approves should be enough incentive alone for my two, but I do take your point and have elaborated!

Whores. - Death of a Stuntman

Absolute banger that sounds like Fu Manchu jamming with Winnebago Deal.

This band were a new discovery for me this year. The album is brilliant - clearly some inspiration from Radiohead especially in this track. Self described as “space rock”

My most listened track of the year. Love the raw production, but it sounds 3x as good live. They’ve been supporting Fontaines, Sam Fender amongst others so wouldnt surprise me if they blew up soon

Xylitol - Okko

Jungle / Drum and bass track but frequently moves away from this and sort of goes a bit BoC at the end. Can’t get enough of this.

Clinic Stars - I am the dancer

Probs my album of the year but this is my favourite. Starts off a bit droney then slips into dream pop acoustic bliss.

Is it obvious to go for Anxious? I don’t care. I was a bit worried how they’d go on after Little Green House especially as the subsequent three songs released were decent but this has blown me away. Theres nothing too drastic but theres clearly a more emo rock thing going on and less punky but somehow they’ve made something which genuinely gets better every time you listen…and i’ve listened a lot. That guitar sound at 2.56 is so good

One of the most urgent openings to a song I’ve heard in ages
