Was asked by my bandmate @hauntedteeth.bsky.social what my favorite records of 2024 and thought I'd post them here, not in a particular order.
1/5
Steven R Smith - Olive (out on @softabuse.bsky.social)
Another lovely offering by an always great artist

Comments
Aluk Todolo - Lux (out on The Anja Offensive)
One of the bands that I love showing people, that I think everyone should know about, I have loved everything they've put out and was very excited for a new record.

Kamalesh Maitra – Raag Kirwani On Tabla Tarang (out on Black Truffle run by @orenambarchi.bsky.social)
Incredible archival find/release, a revelation. One of the records that we put on around the house that will always make us stop what we're doing.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - "NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD" (on Constellation)
Another incredible recording from the bottomless well of churning creativity that is Godspeed. Always new and always old.

Jeff Parker IVtet - The Way Out Of Easy (out on @intlanthem.bsky.social)
My favorite kind of recording by true masters of the form. A perfect record. Actual art, it lives.

The new-to-me record that I couldn't (and can't) get enough of.
Hangedup - Kicker In Tow (also on Constellation)
My bandmate in Aseethe brought a promo CD of this from 2002 on tour in May and I loved it instantly.
