2025 Favorite Albums (50-41)

 

It's that time of year again, and here is the start of my list of favorite albums of 2025:

50. Austra - Chin Up Buttercup

Tampering the eccentricity slightly, Austra supplies one of the best synthpop albums this year. 

49. The Belair Lip Bombs - Again

Perfect alt-power pop. 

48. Agriculture - The Spiritual Sound

Intense black metal that has a subtle warmth. 

47. Tame Impala - Deadbeat

I will admit I loathed this record when it came out. But man, he knows how to create perfect earworms. 

46. Turnstile - Never Enough

I love when a band just hits everything perfectly. And I’m so thankful that this record catapulted them to greater popularity. 

45. Pinkpantheress - Fancy That

She doesn’t change her sound much, but she doesn’t need to. She just perfects it. 

44. bar italia - Some Like It Hot

Louche post-punk, filled with swagger and elan. 

43. John Glacier - Like A Ribbon

Introspective trip-hop that effortlessly moves between beauty and menace.

42. Perfume Genius - Glory

Effortless storytelling full of sadness, loneliness, but ultimately hope. 

41. NewDad - Altar

Crazy and quirky alt-pop. Each song builds on each other to a soon-to-be classic.
