2025 Favorite Albums (40 - 31)

 


Continuing my list:

40. Blood Orange - Essex Honey


Dev Hynes continues his string of fascinating, thematically dense pop records.

39. Nick León - A Tropical Entropy


Drenched with aquatic-sounding reverb and echo, this record provides a late-night soundtrack.

38. Geese - Getting Killed


One of the most bizarre, yet thoroughly entertaining, rock albums this year.

37. Rocket - R Is For Rocket


Rocket wear their 90s alt-rock influences on their sleeve, but it never feels like pastiche.

36. Die Spitz - Something To Consume

The Austin quartet skillfully blends elements of grunge, alternative rock, punk, and noise, maintaining a delicate balance among these genres.

35. Blawan - SickElixer


Dark, cavernous, unforgiving techno.

34. Lifeguard - Ripped and Torn


A breathtaking rush of post-punk fury.

33. Double Virgo - Shakedown

Sam Fenton and Jezmi Tarik Fehmi, moonlighting from their band, bar italia, collect a ramshackle group of songs that recall the laconic sounds of Pavement and The Replacements.

32. Oneohtrix Point Never - Tranquilizer


Using a treasure trove of commercial sample CDs, Daniel Lopatin builds haunting and immersive new worlds.

31. Ghost Mountain - October Country


I'm always a sucker for some good witch house.
