3.30.25

1. THE RAPTURE 

"OUT OF THE RACES AND ONTO THE TRACKS" 

The First Ep By An Often Overlooked Band From The Early 2000s NYC scene. Their Experimental Style & Creative Dancey-ness Is Infectious. This EP Sounds like A Baked Jam Session. Catchy Riffs & Raw Production Make This EP a 10/10 For Me.

 

 

 

 

2. MJ LENDERMAN

"MANNING FIREWORKS"

Arguably My Favorite Album Of 2024, MJ Lenderman Blends Indie & Country Together With Ease. Catchy Lyrics & Captivating Riffs Make This Album Really Stand Out. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. WOMEN

"WOMEN"

If You’ve Never Heard This Album I Highly Recommend It. Lofi Beautiful Rawness, Blending Genres In A Sophisticated Array Of Indie Genius. “Black Rice” Is A Real Stand Out For Me. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. THEE OH SEES

"SORCS 80"

The Newest Oh Sees Record Doesn’t Disappoint One Bit. A Heavy, Synth Filled Jammy As Fuck Explosion Of Garage Rock Goodness. Check Out The Live Album Video Filmed On A Helicopter Pad In Downtown LA. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. GOOD MORNING

"THE OPTION"

The Australia Duo Really Out Did Themselves With This Record. From The Album Cover To The Music,  It’s The Perfect Lofi Indie Album. “Still Commit Crimes” & “Blue Tick” Are Big Stand Outs For Me. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. ALBERT KING

"YEARS GONE BY"

When Its Comes To Blues Guitar There Is No One I Enjoy More Than Albert King & This Album Is A Masterpiece. Funky & Slick, Hard Hitting Blues Riffs & Catchy Melodies, This Album Has Blues Power. 

 

 

 

 

 

7. WILCO

"SCHMILCO"

Wilco Rarely Misses The Mark & Schmilco Is Just Another Amazing Album In Their Catalog.  Really Enjoyed The Acoustic Styling Of This Record & The Album Art By Joan Cornellà Is The Cherry On Top. “Someone To Lose” Has One Of My Favorite Bass & Guitar Riffs Of All Time. 

 

 

 

 

8. THE VOIDZ

"VIRTUE"

Since I First Heard The Strokes I’ve Been A Blind Follower Of Anything Julian Casablancas. His Latest Band The Voidz Seem To Do Whatever The Fuck They Want & I’m Here For It. This Record Offered An Extremely Polished Indie Explosion Of Experimental Craziness. “Leave It In My Dreams”, “Lazy Boy” & “Permanent High School” Are All Gold Standard Tracks. 

 

 

 

 

 

9. STEPHEN MALKMUS

"STEPHEN MALKMUS"

Obviously Very Influential To Me This Self Titled Solo Album Doesn’t Disappoint. It encapsulates Everything You Could Ask For From A Stephen Malkmus Solo Album. “Jenny & The Ess-Dog” Is a Nostalgic Feeling Gem Of A Song.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. SHOTGUN JIMMIE

"STILL JIMMIE"

Shotgun Jimmies Laid-Back Acoustic Style Is Hypnotically Catchy. Sweet Melodies Mixed With Campfire Guitar Parts, It’s One Of Those Records Thats Perfect On A Long Car Ride. If This Album Hasn’t Reached You Yet I Can’t Recommend It Enough. “Waist Deep In The Water” & “Dawson City” Are Real Stand Outs.
