I didn't listen to as much new music in 2023 as years past - much more into building a vinyl collection now. But here are the ones that I did spend time with and listen to a whole bunch.
1. Billy Woods & Kenny Segal // MAPS
2. Hotline TNT // CARTWHEEL
3. Ratboys // THE WINDOW
4. Slow Pulp // YARD
5. Yo La Tengo // THIS STUPID WORLD
6. Young Fathers // HEAVY HEAVY
7. Wednesday // RAT SAW GOD
8. Mitski // THE LAND IS INHOSPITABLE AND SO ARE WE
9. Protomartyr // FORMAL GROWTH IN THE DESERT
10. Jeff Rosenstock // HELLMODE
--------------------------
And a few more that were close:
- Tim Hecker // NO HIGHS
- Noname // SUNDIAL
- Nourished By Time // EROTIC PROBIOTIC 2
- Boygenius // THE RECORD
- Black Thought // GLORIOUS GAME
Good luck in 2024. It should be a doozy.
