2025: My Year In Music

MY TEN FAVORITE ALBUMS OF 2025

(IN NO PARTICULAR HIERARCHY)

/// they are gutting a body of water - LOTTO
 A delicatessen of face smashers.

/// Steve Hauschildt - Aeropsia
Somewhere in the reaches of deep space...

/// Goon - Dream 3
Their blend of woozy & heavy continues to pull me in.  

/// Foxwarren - 2

Glad to hear Andy Shauf & friends experimenting.

/// Coral Grief - Air Between Us

Such soft, gentle melodies.

/// Mamalarky - Hex Key
Text book indie rock that I find irresistible.

/// William Tyler - Time Indefinite

It's nice to hear Tyler getting weird.

/// Panda Bear - Sinister Grift
Another sun-soaked meditation with Mr. Lennox.

/// Laurie Torres - Après coup
Like a Sunday afternoon.

/// Aesop Rock - Black Hole Superette

Still hitting it as hard & silly as ever.
