albums for you

these are a few of my favorite albums (listed alphabetically by title) !

3D Country (2023) - Geese

this band has so much character and creativity, especially when considering that this is only their sophomore album. this album is loud and fun.

favorite songs: cowboy nudes, domoto, st elmo
THE BEATLES (1968) - The Beatles

you guys have to check out this band they're called the beatles. but for real... for serious.. I love the white album. it is so eclectic and full of sounds that are fun to listen to! (except for don't pass me by. sorry.)

favorite songs: honey pie, helter skelter, long long long, the snippet at the end of cry baby cry, dear prudence
THE CRYING LIGHT (2009) - Anohni and the Johnsons

I loooove this one. it is so lush and anohni's voice is as great as ever. I didn't think that they could top I am a Bird Now(I also love that album. that cd lived in my car for a very long time), but I think that they did.

favorite songs: daylight and the sun, another world, epilepsy is dancing
DIVERS (2015) - Joanna Newsom

I really could have chosen any Joanna album for this list, but I was just feeling Divers at the time. this one is probably her most accessible musically, but it gets quite dense in the lyrics. every word feels so important and so intentional. time travel existentialism at its finest!

favorite songs: waltz of the 101st lightborne, sapokanikan, time as a symptom/anecdotes
EVERYTHING HARMONY (2023) - The Lemon Twigs

I made an entire zine about this album. I think it came out at just the right time to achieve maximum impact on me. I cannot be objective about it, I just like it a lot.

favorite songs: still it's not enough, everything harmony, i don't belong to me
IGOR (2019) - Tyler, the Creator

home to one of my favorite album closers! so loud, so punchy, so full of heart. also the visuals that went along with this album were so good; every music video is beautiful.

favorite songs: new magic wand, are we still friends?, what's good, gone gone / thank you
LIVE FROM BLACKALACHIA (2021) - Moses Sumney

aromanticism (2017) and grae (2020) are both fantastic albums on their own, but this live album really elevates each of them into something completely different. the arrangements are so well done, especially the more brass driven songs. AND this is a visual album and it is gorgeous in every way.

favorite songs: colouour, virile, bless me, cut me
RAM (1971) - Paul & Linda McCartney

a nostalgic and saccharine album. I just think this one is so charming. the way they pronounce 'lady' on eat at home. the time change in 3 legs. and then ending on back seat of my car just makes it out of this world. yay ram!

favorite songs: 3 legs, back seat of my car, long haired lady, dear boy
