For the first time since 1966, I “bought” only one new album. 2024 was almost a total wash for me, apart from some box sets and reissues. Near on NOTHING released in 2024 as new music grabbed me at all.
I tried with the Red Clay Strays, with Waxahatchee, with Henry Wagons. But nothing stuck enough for me to buy.
Thank goodness for Jae Laffer’s (driving force behind Australia’s The Panics) absolutely stunning Dream of Life album from early in the year. Sublime. Ridiculously effortlessly beautiful record. And I “bought it” thru Apple Music, as it’s not released as far as I can tell on any physical media, which is sacrilege.

Geordie Greep "The New Sound" - great album The St Vincent album "All Born Screaming", Charlie XXX "Brat", Jack White "No Name" !!, and the Vampire Weekend "Only God Was Above Us" record. All good. The Nick CAve album to me was a big disappointment.

I just discovered Michael Kiwanuka, so Love and Hate is my fav new (acquired) album of 2024.. Late to the party I know, but technically I did the same with the Stones since I first discovered them in 1972.
