The year's tastiest records from Country Westerns, Romy, Genesis Owusu, Jayda G, Gaz Coombs, Yo La Tengo, Spector, Anna St. Louis, Those Pretty Wrongs, and Billy Nomates!
Quite a few of these albums found their way onto my listening list this year with a couple just missing out on making my top 50 (Anna St. Louis and Yo La Tengo). But there’s also a nice selection of new (to me) music to check out further.
How on earth did I miss out on a new Genesis Owosu album? 2021’s Smiling With No Teeth made my top 20 that year. Look forward to digging into this one!
Gaz Coombes found his way onto my AOTY list this year, loved this album!
Can I just say how nice it is to see a similar sentiment regarding "big" records this year? Don't get me wrong; LPs from the likes of boygenius were objectively good-- they just weren't my thing. It would've felt a bit performative to include them.
That said, so far we only have one "shared" record (you can probably guess what it is), which is a testament to just how much killer stuff was released this year.
This is gonna take a while...
