The 10 Best Album's of 2024 - According to an Annoying White Boy

Hi all, hope you're all well. We're here once again, with my yearly review of my favourite stuff to be released in the prior 365 days. I'll keep this brief but I hope you enjoy reading, I'm aware I'm not the greatest writer but I enjoy doing this, and I hope you guys enjoy it too. As always honourable mentions are listed at the end with genres listed in case you wanted any recommendations. Thanks, and have a good 2025 x.

10. Flower of the Soul by Liana Flores

What is a morning album? Mellow as not to startle you? Uplifting to start you off right? Pretty enough to put you in a good mood? Well Flower of the Soul has all of this in droves. Gorgeous vocals guide bossanova-esque production, as the Brazilian-Brit Liana Flores takes us round her summer garden. As you walk you experience all the beauty with her, as flora and fauna sway in the soft wind, and the warming sun radiates down upon you in droves, it's an album you really feel with the season. Released on jazz-label Verve Records, the sound is laden with those who came before her, taking heavy inspiration from Brazilian icons Astrud and João Gilberto to craft a modern take on the beachy south american sound we’ve heard from decades past. 

The album circles the many branches of nature, as you’d expect from its name. From her descriptions of rippling streams, songbirds, wildflowers and orange-coloured days, to the inclusion of seeds with each vinyl pressing (which will be my first venture into gardening when I sow these next summer), its clear to see she wanted to focus on the small parts of life's natural beauty. Nightvisions and Crystalline take us away from the solitude of her garden, into pastures new, with the former exploring the space between those long summer days, as the short humid nights christen the dreams she has alongside an unnamed companion, whilst the latter takes you to the coasts, immersing you in the ‘swirling waves’ and soaring seabirds which accompany the breeze. I should imagine these seabirds were a lot friendlier than the aggressive cohort of seagulls which routinely punctuated my summer in Brighton. 

To summarise, whilst winter may make this album seem a far off fantasy, the changing seasons make this album shine. It may be hard to imagine mornings sitting out on lush grass right now, but if you feel the need to be transported there to lift you out of whatever seasonal depression you’re trapped in, this may be the album for you. If that doesn’t work for you right now, then giving it a little time for the green to return to the leaves may benefit you greatly, and when it does, there are few better accompaniments than Flower of the Soul.

9. Imaginal Disk by Magdalena Bay

I think if we consider stories of artists rising up out of nowhere into stardom this year, it’s hard to look past the meteoric ascent of Magdalena Bay, who came out of nowhere to fly into the hearts and minds of the pop-oriented masses. Admittedly I may be the only one to make this assessment, as after 2 albums, 3 mixtapes and 3 EPs (the first of which was released all the way back in 2019), they’re hardly new kids on the block, but after their recent UK tour saw venue upgrades from 250 person basements to 950 person academies (at least in Manchester that was the case) it’s fair to say I wasn’t the only one to bypass the hype until late on. One thing that is for sure is that the sudden uptick in hype is definitely warranted, because it has come alongside the release of the masterful Imaginal Disk, a synthy pop forward triumph which has topped year end lists throughout the world. 

The Floridian writer/producer duo squeeze as much fun, romance and absurdism as you could ask for in 53 minutes, with every track feeding the next, leaving you begging for the next song to pull you in once more. The tracklist is simply relentless in quality, opening with She Looked Like Me! Which builds into bassy drum beats, before the dreamy Killing Time takes over. After a short interlude it just diverges into banger after banger after banger. I could list off most of the tracks from this and they’re all equally as fun and high quality. The highest mark I can give it is that despite 4 singles being released in the lead up to its release, I believe any combination of tracks could have taken their place, they’re all simply so good. I truly do believe that had I had a different year this would be a shoe in for my top pick. Alas that wasn’t the case but a very respectable top 10 placing is in no way a mark against it. At the very least I am not the only one to put this high up in my list. If you want to have fun whilst covering everything from Death to Romance, this is certainly the album for you.

8. Manning Fireworks by M.J. Lenderman

Forget having a brat summer, the real story of the year was an MJ Lenderman autumn. Away from the alternative country twang of Wednesday, Lenderman’s latest solo effort embraces the influences of greats like Springsteen and Clapton, producing America’s latest new singer songwriter effort with an effortlessly captivating sound. Merging the aforementioned country sound of his band Wednesday with Pavement-esque slacker rock, Manning Fireworks is wonderfully nonchalant, much to his credit. 

Released in September as the first whiffs of autumn began to rear their chilly head, it went under the radar for me for quite a while, barely touching my rotation. Of course I was aware of the plaudits it was receiving, but it almost passed me by. Thankfully, through constant play during the quiet morning on the shop floor, as well as some pretty religious devotion by certain superfan friends (ahem, Jack), it worked its way back into my rotation, and I can only be grateful for that. 

It’s an album which benefits from being incredibly understated. Nothing is built around tricky arrangements, songs written about groundbreaking storylines, but instead he addresses ‘houseboats docked at the himbo dome’ (whatever that means), with themes of solitude, romance, breakups and everything in between. He treats all of these with apathy, seemingly emotionally disconnected from the situations discussed, even though they do seem autobiographical. Overall this creates the effect that it's a situation long forgotten, something he seems to feel quite over. Luckily this apathy doesn't translate to disinterest, and whilst the quality is certainly effortless, you can feel the craftsmanship and work put into it, for all to see.

7. Pink Balloons by Ekko Astral

I think ‘is it Bon Ee-ver or Bon I-ver, I don’t care, I’ve got stalkers outside, not going out tonight, gonna sit and take pics in my underwear’ is a very strong contender for lyric of the year (alongside MJ Lenderman’s reference to a ‘houseboat docked at the himbodome’, whatever that means), and it’s only on the first track. Pink Balloons is a stunning debut, embodying the phrase ‘bubblegum punk’, if there was ever such a thing, through tongue-n-cheek word play and dour, drying social commentary, telling a story of a group of women (excluding their guitarist Liam Hughes) who seem pretty tired of the same old bullshit. 

Sonically, their cynicism comes through in spades, with harsh, screeching guitars and DIY drums, everything is meant to put you off, maybe a little on edge, expecting to be hit over the head by their anger. The creepy monologue of Somewhere at the Bottom… a music-less interlude, part poem, part manifesto, part callout against purveyors of violence, its intimacy makes it succeed in its opening line promise, you do indeed feel the need to shift in your seat. The rest of the album progresses with pace still, from the male-led jangle of Make Me Young to the palpitating, then pulsating Devorah, shouting powerful mantra once it builds into crescendo. 

The 8 minute closer i90 is nothing short of epic. Drafting in Utah’s Josaleigh Pollet, it glides past you, a dreamy vocal serenade with perfectly placed harmonies. The track relies on sparsely strum guitars and a low, almost undetectable swirl of reverb to provide its backdrop, till it builds and the rest of the band join to play out the epic. There’s an argument to say it's not for the faint of heart, but I think with an open enough mind this can be enjoyed by all with a taste for the punkier side of things. Hopefully there’s even more to come.

6. You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To by Knocked Loose

Let me set the scene. It’s the 27th of November 2024, and it's the Jimmy Kimmel show. The live stage pours with rage as middle America tunes in to hear a grammy-nominated rock band. Then, like the first shot of a battle, a pig squeal is let out. It’s Bryan Garris, from Knocked Loose, and alongside Poppy, they were about to progress hardcore into new, lofty heights. Immediately, facebook was ablaze with opposition. Mother’s complaining of crying kids, frightened by the feat they had just witnessed, called for an apology from the band. Bryan’s response, ‘if it scared you, good’. As hardcore was beamed into households nationwide, away from the snowflakes, living rooms became moshpits. Carpets were two-stepped on, family members crowdkilled, and any surface became a stage to dive off, whether it be sofas, tables, or your nan’s antiques. Another generation of kids and teens had been exposed to the intoxication of hardcore, and the scene grew once more. 

Oh yeah, there’s also an album too. A grammy nominated album. 27 minutes of pure, unbridled, untethered riffs, screams and cowbell-like snares. It’s raw, it’s passionate, and it’s intoxicating. From minute one you know what you’re in for. The opener begins with a tension building silence, only the prang of a tuning fork cutting the eeriness, before Bryan launches into his first (of many) screams of the album. His vocal style and high pitch has been off putting to some, but not to me, as although the opposite of guttural, it hits just as hard as any other frontmans. From there, breakdown to breakdown, riff to riff, the album just hits again and again. It’s important to note that even with mainstream success, the tenants of hardcore are not forgotten. The sound of course remains, but the themes persist too, with Slaughterhouse 2 featuring a call for class war, a rallying cry to the lower class. Yeah this is still real hardcore.

So watch the show, beat your fears and wipe away the tears of those who can’t handle it. It’s a grand discovery if you do, but I warn any wary folk. ‘You won’t survive in the Slaughterhouse’.

5. brat by Charli XCX

Before we start, yes, let’s acknowledge the phenomenon that was ‘Brat Summer’. In what can only be described as the greatest marketing campaign in all of music history, Charli went from popstar for the girls and the gays into one of the biggest artists in the world right now. Through memes, remixes, and a pretty lucid shade of green, I don’t think we’ll see anything like this in a long time (apart from the obvious clones that we are for sure due.). 

Now that the radioactive dust has settled, and the green has shifted to the orange of autumn and white of winter, perhaps a retrospective on this album is something we are due. I don't mean to hark on like a certain Anthony Fantano about how the album is actually incredibly emotionally intimate behind the party anthems, but it’s hard to miss it. So I, Girl, So confusing and I think about it all the time explore complexities far beyond the reaches of what many songwriters would be comfortable discussing. From professional beef with an unnamed person with the ‘same hair’ (Of course revealed via a remix of the track to be the New Zealander Lorde), to the idea of motherhood, battling insecurity and baby fever, whilst understanding that she may be running out of time to partake. 

On the other hand there’s the Club Classics littered throughout. 360 opens things at a slower tempo, referencing her good friend Julia Fox, whilst braggadociously proclaiming her fame (in fairness to her, she certainly was ‘everywhere’ this year). This is followed by the pounding bass of the aforementioned Club Classics, which is as equally at home in a sewer in Berlin as it is in the car on the way to work. I could work my way through all 15 tracks, as every single one hits perfectly back to back, but I’ll spare you the monologue. My parting message is to those who’ve managed to avoid ‘Brat Summer’ and all the hype. Quite simply, you’re not cool, embrace Brat, let the green infect you, and enjoy it as we all have.

4. ONLY ONE MODE by Speed

SPEED are so good I wish Australia was real. July saw us take a dive down under, to the world of the Aussie boys SPEED, who came crashing in with their debut record courtesy of Flatspot records. From minute one it rips, building on from the 3 stunning singles of Real Life Love, The First Test and Don’t Need, with every track coming in with punch and energy. Whilst the project is brief, falling just short of a 24 minute run time, it’s a 24 minutes you spend shouting every word as it pummels through whatever stereo you hear it on. 

As a band, SPEED were only meant to be a retirement project for a few Sydney scene veterans. They wanted to give something back after their own bands had stagnated, but what came was totally unexpected. As flute-wielding frontman Jem Siow put it ‘Who the fuck wants to listen to a hardcore LP?’, but as we’ve seen via a sold out european tour, plenty of people.

 Those who haven't heard this album may be a little confused by my mention of flutes. After all, woodwind instruments and the searing riffs, brutal snares and vocal grunts aren't your typical combination. But here it’s a match made in heaven, replacing your typical brutal breakdown with something a little more unique really lifts the track (The First TestI). However the rest of the album battles through proper hardcore, it's succinctly impressive and endlessly enjoyable. Hopefully I’ll finally see them in 2025. 

3. I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU by JPEGMAFIA

Well I think we’ll call this an interesting year for Peggy. In a year where he put himself on the wrong side of one of hip-hop’s great bald men (Freddie Gibbs) and on the right side of another (Ye West), this album was released amidst a cloud. Luckily, the quality on the album cuts through the controversy with one of his strongest outings to date. These days JPEGmafia seems to have eclipsed the limiting label of ‘underground’ and finally become a big name rapper, even if his style and opinions place him outside of the mainstream, and I Lay Down my Life for You does a great job of proving this, combing his trademark sound with some more influences from outside the rapsphere. The result, although most definitely the standout hip-hop project of the year, is probably his least ‘hip-hop’ album to date, with tracks like either off or on the drugs, don’t rely on other men and JIHAD JOE  showing Peggy’s interest in brave new channels of music. This comes as no surprise of course, as the rapper/producer has never shone away from a diverse creative decision (Whilst recording under the pseudonym Devon Hendryx in his early years, he had an underground hit an autotune laden cover of Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe after all).

Another key event for JPEGmafia, as well as the rest of the music industry, was the Kendrick Lamar Vs. Drake beef which punctuated the first few months of the year with sizzling diss tracks. Whilst Peggy refrained from dropping anything himself (in his defense I think Kendrick covered what most people wanted to say), I can’t imagine he, a well established Drake hater, didn't enjoy the world turning on the Canadian. Ever since his early days on Black Ben Carson he’s made his opinions clear, stating his wish to bring hip-hop out of the so-called ‘Drake Era’, a dig at the 10’s and 20’s Drizzy-led rise of ‘pop rap’. This time he took aim at the pedophilia allegations which have long clouded Drake’s public reputation, but especially since K-dot’s Not Like Us, with two references in the album outright referring to them. As JPEGmafia runs this victory lap over Drake, it may be fair to say the ‘Drake Era’ could be soon to end, and it seems pretty poignant that the strongest rap album this year, and the one leading the charge, is by the man who called him out for it so many years ago.

2. Bright Future by Adrianne Lenker

It may be a shame to invoke Doctor Who within this review but do bare with me because I do have a point. The now iconic Van Gogh episode, first released in 2010 with the great Matt Smith at the helm of the Tardis, has reached a status amongst TV fans beyond the show itself. An episode so sad and so heartwarming it captures everyone watching, and brings many an eye to a tear. As Van Gogh is reunited with his now seminal artwork, Bill Nighy, playing a bowtied and quick witted art critic is prompted to speak on the importance of Vincent’s work. He says, amongst other things across a hundred or so words, that ‘He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world.’, and tangent aside, this is what I think sums up this album so perfectly. 

From track one Adrianne portrays such soul suckingly bleak stories of her life’s tumultuous tragedies into art far beyond comprehension. Real House, the opening track, introduces us to a soundscape so barren it becomes a spoken word piece, weaving her way around her relationship with her former cult member mother, something so seemingly soft and tender yet frigid and cold. Luckily the album warms from here and the bleakness fades, although still looming large and punctuating every note, as we head onto the lead single Sadness as a gift, another standout. Her ability to portray pain as beauty is fulfilled here, as even by the track’s name we see her ability to turn dark into light, as she explores longing, yearning, waiting for someone to call as she sits by the phone waiting the days away. The ardent instrumental swells from being starkly there in the first track, to becoming an all encompassing source of comfort. These themes continue throughout the album, standout tracks like Free Treasure, the previously Big Thief penned Vampire Empire, reborn in a more similar vein to its beloved original demo, and Already Lost, sang on plucked banjo and recorded with suitable DIY style, as you hear the crackle and creak of the room, the microphone, the amp, its wonderfully simple, and most importantly, real.

The album is tailed by the closer Ruined, a track which completes the narrative of the album so perfectly. We return to a more barren soundscape, not heard since the first track, and Adrienne sings in high pitched, but soft and tender, writing of a great love which leaves her, well, ruined. The song's piano led production feels careful, honest but full of a myriad of minor misplaces which makes you feel as if the emotion may be getting a little too much. I will stand by my review from June of this, and Adrianne as a whole as I crowned her the greatest songwriter of this generation. A more pressing question, as we reflect on her catalogue between her and her band, is that could she be the greatest songwriter of all time. I wouldn't argue against that, that’s for sure.

1. The Pilgrim, Their God and The King Of My Decrepit Mountain by Tapir!

What is it that makes an album of the year? The great personal significance? An artist who had a year like no other? Or just the best record out there? For me it has to be something you connect with, personally. And Tapir!’s debut certainly did that. To be a January release and remain atop my rankings is something very special. Good thing this is something incredibly special indeed. It endured the cold and wet winter months, with endearing warmth thawing the February frost, whilst its charm soundtracked the spring and summer. Even as another Winter comes, its beauty is not lost to any repeat spins, continuously in my rotation as it was throughout the last 12 months. I think its significance comes in its simplicity, its innocence. Forget the real world and kick back into the fantasy land of wonder, where mythical beasts roam the moors and a journey is made on foot, not car. In a world full of twats and tories, a bit of escapism is increasingly necessary, the struggles of daily life melting away into the cushion of this album. 

What this album does is proves that things don't need to be overwhelmingly complicated to be impressive, in fact quite the opposite, as the best moments on this record are those which feel, for lack of a better word, unpolished.  a seemingly misplaced note Eidolon, an empty reference to Hugo Boss on My God, it builds to a record that has more character than anything released in recent years. My evaluation here is not to disparage it whatsoever, of course it couldn’t be as it was a nailed on number 1 pick of the year since its release, but more of a compliment. It captures your heart, flaws and all, creating such a stunning backdrop for the fantastical creatures from far off realms to wonder the ether. Yet, despite its mysticism, it can be very easily applied to our own lives, at the very least I found it very easy to do so. Maybe it's cheap to relate this traveler's experience to that of my ancestry, but I’d like to think their journey’s were equally fantastical. The aforementioned Eidolon provides a gorgeously universal take on romance, despite the name referring to love with an unsubstantiated image (perhaps sometimes this is more relatable than we want to admit). Eidolon stands clear as my favourite track on the album, leaning into its simplicity and feeling desperately tender and intimate. 

This album, presented as a tripartite of three smaller Eps, displays everything that’s right with the music scene today. You don’t need fancy production and insane staging for greatness, just a few mates, some cheap instruments, some lovely voices and, of course, a few large, red papier-mâché heads. That’s the real recipe for success, and we can’t thank Tapir! enough for showing that.
