Is it a trick of me being old that 50 Words For Snow still feels like a new album?

Excited to test the potential of this toothache. I'm not yet permenantly screaming, so there's some way to go!

21. Jessica Pratt - World On A String #Top24of24 Day 21 Her sound world expanded, but the spell it cast had lost none of its power: youtu.be/MnXYxe1PaMo?...

Looking at Kraven the Hunter and Lord of the Rings: The War of Whatever cratering at the box office, as well as the buzzless, yawny response to Dune: Prophecy, and thinking that audiences could not make their indifference to the "extended" part of Extended Universes clearer if they screamed it.

I'm sure they don't care, but it's interesting that Sault released a whole damn album to YouTube and, AFAICT, received hardly a single mainstream review. It's one of their best records! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfVj...

20. Trent Rezno & Atticus Ross - Challengers #Top24of24 Day 20 Sweaty 90s revivalist electronica that stood in for our lack of an actual summer, and also the track that most frequently has me reaching to turn off a phantom alarm (listen to the end)

19. The Cure - Fragile Thing #Top24of24 Day 19 (just...) This track had no business whatsoever being as good as this. None. open.spotify.com/track/17k0Dw...

Date night. Go to Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake. Excited, having never been to the ballet, all male or otherwise. Try to get seated. Discover I'd somehow booked for the matinee. Still never been to the ballet.

Anemones is endlessly beautiful and under discussed album of... kosmic jungle? Anyhow, I enjoyed this review/interview of a fascinating artist.

18. Cassandra Jenkins - Only One #Top24of24 Day 18 A lot of songs on my list are perfect. But this one is, like, perfect, y'know? Synths and submerged sax, yes that's right, give me all of it. open.spotify.com/track/0Bq9Vj...

Local pub in our bucolic Chilterns pub shows GB News on big screens. Unnerving.

17. Bon Iver - Speyside #Top24of24 Day 17 Good to know he can still devastate. Bonus: I smile every time at "as I fill my book/oh, what a waste of wood" open.spotify.com/track/6khKJV...

16. Naima Bock - Feed My Release #Top24of24 Day 16 Lovely unspooling spare melody, Roches-like in its naive harmonies.

14. Fabiano Palladino - Stay With Me Through The Night #Top24of24 Taken from another personal AOTY, this always reminded me of a more late-night, 80s-inspired version of Haim - all those stacked harmonies and fleckles of electric guitar. open.spotify.com/track/0tBQ1z...

13. Diane Birch - Moto Moon #Top24of24 That her album came and went without a ripple is a mystery to me; Yellow Brick Road facsimiles this good deserve a bigger audience. open.spotify.com/track/2epdw0...

12. Lucy Rose - Light As Grass #Top24of24 Absolute sucker for a syncopated piano riff, aqueous vocals and psychedelic harps where the chorus goes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhLi...

11. The Smile - Just Eyes and Mouth #Top24of24 Guitar going up and down the ziggurat, Tom Skinner absolutely ablaze, Yorke Yorkeing, this was the highlight from their second album of 2024. open.spotify.com/track/5gG5N9...

10. Hayley Heynderickx - Seed Of A Seed #Top24of24 "If I get lucky/Maybe a simple life". My favourite new voice of the year, from one of the AOTYs. open.spotify.com/track/0QQJqE...

9. Gillian Welch & David Rawlings - What We Had #Top24of24 I first heard this slightly Neil Young in full strings mode track from Woodland while on a plane, which of course is a shortcut to enhanced emotional devastation. open.spotify.com/track/77bNzH...
