Okay all, the group #AOTY list is up! I've boosted the toot version from @1001otheralbums.com, but footnotes look like crap on here, so it might look better on the blog. Thanks everyone for taking part, there's some great stuff on here to check out - 132 albums, to be exact!

Happy listening! And remember, keep your friends close and your records closer. :ablobjam:

Albums the Fediverse Loved in 2024

Okay all, here are 132 albums the Fediverse loved in 2024, mostly 2024 releases but also some earlier gems! Thanks so much to the 60 Fedizens who shared the albums that rocked their world – it’s nice to see some familiar faces from the 1001 Other Albums project, and some new ones! And, as always, it’s so lovely to get a glimpse into all our diverse tastes in music, and to see people trying something new solely based on a random Fedi recommendation.

Genre tags are included as tasting notes and each title is linked to its Bandcamp or Songlink (with the exception of 2 physical-only releases), so click and listen away – perhaps you’ll find a new-to-you album that gets you through 2025! Check out the footnotes to see who submitted each album, along with any extra comments they included (warning: some comments include MOAR ALBUMS).

Happy listening, and remember to keep your music close by this year, in case of emergencies. And, if you need more recommendations, you know where to find me.

33. snacktraces: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elysion_(band) www.elysion-official.com/ An underrated “gothic” metal band from Greece, their latest album. This album hit my “radar” in the summer of this year. Was traveling to another country to spend a week working with colleagues. I drove instead of flew. I listened to this whole album on the trip there and the trip back in the car. It got me through a rough week ↩︎

This one is quite different from the rest of her discography, but it’s my favourite. Full (25+) AOTY list at musingsofbuffyleigh.wordpress.com/2024/12/31/albums-of-a-lost-world/ ↩︎

45. _slotek_: Music to sooth the savage breast. ↩︎
46. ArpComics: Their best album since AI, basically a middle-aged Dookie. Honorable mention to: Pinhead Gunpowder, ‘Unt’ – A Billie Joe Armstrong side project of straight up pop punk; Amyl & the Sniffers, ‘Cartoon Darkness’ – Old school garage punk from down under, fronted by a force of nature; Chappell Roan – I don’t even know the name of her album but one of my kids listens to her in the car 24/7 and everything I’ve heard is damn good. ↩︎
47. AqiDrago ↩︎
48. otherdog ↩︎
49. flockofnazguls ↩︎
50. svenvabar: Discovered Interpol this year – that’s the most important thing. Let’s say ‘Turn on the Bright Lights’ (2002), but could have been ‘Antics’ (2004). ↩︎
51. nevar23 ↩︎
52. _slotek_: Music to sooth the savage breast. ↩︎
53. jomel: Also Beth Gibbons – Lives Outgrown, Labecque sisters – Sonic Wires, Tindersticks – Soft Tissue, Emily Loizeau – La souterraine, Louis Carnell – 111, King Hannah – Big Swimmer, Kim Gordon – The Collective, Kim Deal – Nobody loves you more, Claire Rousay – The Bloody Lady ↩︎
54. derthomas ↩︎
55. resl: released in 2019 but I was really glad I found it so in case anyone who sees this list hasn’t heard it and would like it as much as I did, I want to mention it ↩︎
56. mbr || MetalheadDana ↩︎
57. flockofnazguls ↩︎
58. platenworm ↩︎
59. kreatorfangirls ↩︎
60. Cart: So relaxing. ↩︎
61. Cart: Bottlerockets brings tears almost every time. ↩︎
62. derthomas ↩︎
63. buffyleigh: Anderson kept popping up in my listening, both with older work (especially Big Science) and this, her newest (which features some vocals by ANOHNI). What a delightful creature. [Also see footnote 40.] ↩︎
64. aspeed ↩︎
65. MetalheadDana ↩︎
66. puffer ↩︎
67. johnglass: Honorable mentions: Helado Negro – PHASOR; Julie – my anti-aircraft friend; Maria Chiara Argirò – Closer; Punchlove – Channels; Packs – Melt the Honey; Shooting Daggers – Love & Rage; Itasca – Imitation of War; Khruangbin – A LA SALA; Whitelands – Night-bound Eyes Are Blind to the Day; Kali Uchis – Orquídeas; Allie X – Girl With No Face; Deap Vally – SISTRONIX 2.0; Sophie de Bardonnèche – Destineés; Drahla – angeltape ↩︎

74. umrk ↩︎
75. avi_miller ↩︎
76. BootesVoid: Mostly because of the song “Flatbread” ↩︎
77. satsuma: A great album dealing with grief, addiction and trauma, and coming out the other side bloodied but unbowed. || schoppenaas ↩︎
78. alicemcalicepants ↩︎
79. littlerachyb: Nina has a knack of hitting my feelings on the head. I first found her in the pandemic when she was posting silly little jingles, especially one about it being a good time to stop giving a fuck. Anyway this year Mansion from this album was my tune, and the whole album resonated. ↩︎
80. buffyleigh: This was my best discovery from the 1001 Albums to Listen to Before You Die list – yep, I hadn’t heard it before this year – and it kickstarted my obsession with NIN which led to them being my most listened-to artist of the year, in both albums and minutes. [Also see footnote 40.] ↩︎
81. avi_miller: I found this album interesting, and hope others will enjoy it too ↩︎
82. shivering_wreck ↩︎
83. erik: Ochu are one of my best discoveries of 2024. I first saw them live on a boat in Stockholm, rubbing pieces of wood against each other, breaking branches, etc. On “Dry Routine”, there are also some woodwork, with sounds from both a regular and an electric saw, and all kinds of lo-fi field recordings, layered and looped into captivating pieces. So far, it’s my favorite release of the year. [Note link is to only one song; no digital release, limited vinyl.] ↩︎
84. HauntedOwlbear ↩︎
85. weirdofhermiston ↩︎
86. svenvabar: Discovered Placebo this year. Let’s say ‘Without You I’m Nothing’ (1998), but could have been some other album also (‘Meds’, ‘Black Market Music’…) ↩︎
87. evilchili: The best close singers in the business delivered an aptly-named record of loss, death, mourning, and rage. Everyone needs to hear this record. ↩︎
88. gavin57 ↩︎
89. TG_Esq ↩︎

97. RolloTreadway: my favourite album ↩︎
98. dan ↩︎
99. BramMeehan: Ran across [this album] via electrowow the morning of November 6 and, y’know, I kinda needed that. ↩︎
100. ArpComics: Competed in Eurovision for Austria in ‘23, she has a way with words. Just listen to ‘Not Afraid of Growing Old’. Also had a great single with Aiko called ‘Hunger’. [Also see footnote 46.] ↩︎
101. cloudtripper: Give it 30 seconds, if you get it, you get it. The best album I’ve never heard of since X-Ray Spex. ↩︎
102. TG_Esq ↩︎
103. svenvabar: The new Cure is super good too but the truth is I discovered ‘Pornography’ this year. That one I truly liked. ↩︎
104. evilchili: The best Cure record since Disintegration! We always say that! But it is! || thesinkingbelle || arratoon || dan ↩︎
105. nevar23 ↩︎
106. domino_joyce: Self described as your dad’s favourite miserable disco, if you aren’t hooked by the opening line, it’s not for you. I’ve listened to it more than anything else this year. ↩︎
107. evilchili: Perfect ↩︎
108. BootesVoid || ArpComics: Third album from the precocious teens who opened for Green Day this year, with steadily improving songwriting and wider range of style/influences. [Also see footnote 46.] ↩︎

Two of my #2024MusicDiscoveries actually came from people sharing music on here! Of course I can't remember who to credit them, but someone shared links to songs by Lambrini Girls and General Chaos and I now adore both these bands.

I also heard Lola Young on KEXP and dig her a whole lot. Thee Sacred Souls are bringing some retro groove to my life. Ora The Molecule has some good stuff too! Yay new to me music!

A quick entry for #2024musicdiscoveries this #TuneTuesday
Discovery mode was dialed low this year. I used to add videos from the Dark Americana Facebook group to a 'watch later' playlist and found real gems that way.
Since i don't frequent meta often anymore, that playlist has run dry.

I discovered CW Ayon here in the Fediverse and i really like this groove:

Notable second is The Guillotine by the Coop.

Late to the #TuneTuesday party about #2024MusicDiscoveries

Well, I discovered so much new stuff this year, more than half of my #AOTY2024 was completely new for me. Go and have a look:

But 2024 was also the year I discovered and immediately fell in love with Opeth, so here's one from their prog rock masterpieces:

🎵 Eternal Rains Will Come

#TuneTuesday #2024MusicDiscoveries

Had never heard of these guys until enjoying brunch with my sister in Oakland over the summer and this track, Wild Coyote by The Nude Party, came on. Had to shazam it.

One of my favorite musical discoveries this year was "Magnetic" from Tunde Adebimpe. I'm really looking forward to hearing more solo stuff from him.

#TuneTuesday #Music #2024MusicDiscoveries

This week's #TuneTuesday is #2024MusicDiscoveries.

It wasn't a big year for new music for me. Browsing my Tidal favorite tracks and my "Relisten" playlist, I was reminded of Ancient Infinity Orchestra. I guess they could be included in the hyped up London jazz scene (one of my #UnpopularOpinions) and their album River of Light is on Gondwana Records. It's #SpiritualJazz in the vein of Coltrane and Pharoah.

In this week's #TuneTuesday, @Kitty is asking about our #2024MusicDiscoveries, or music we found this year (but regardless of the release year).
I've listened to so many of the songs you good people have been kind enough to share and I'm really grateful for that. Unfortunately that prevents me to pick just one from the vast ocean of excellent music 😔
Ashen by #HumanitysLastBreath was my #AOTY2023, which made me discover the sound. Exploring the genre (some say it isn't one, nor is #Djent, but who cares) has put new bands onto my radar.
Curious about what I found? Check out #ThallNights. Happy listening 😁

The #TuneTuesday theme this week, on a looser schedule than usual, is #2024MusicDiscoveries

I have listened to so many musicians for the first time in 2024, from the kind of DSBM that rends your emotions to shreds to new electronic beats but I think my personal favourite discovery has been anti-nazi black metal/dungeon synth weirdo Abysmal Specter and his label, Grime Stone Records.

I discovered them in September, as a result of someone on fedi posting the DJ October 32nd (Abysmal Specter again) EP 11 OUT 12 MONTHS AREN'T REAL, a compelling slice of Eternal Halloween themed dungeon rave.

A subscription to a selection of catalogue releases was promptly bought upon hearing the gleefully raw, melodic DIY aesthetic that permeates every damn thing they release, and I've been harping on about them every since.

They're also responsible for one of the AOTY entries for 2024:

Bloody Keep - Rats Of Black Death

#TuneTuesday #2024MusicDiscoveries
Well, there's a lot of stuff. My second choice would've been #NothingMore - Angel's song.
My favorite of this year's findings is #Unprocessed Last song I've heard from them until this year was Rain. I didn't expected what I've heard from their new stuff, but that was amazing.

Two latest singles:
Sacrifice Me:

It is #TuneTuesday with the theme of #2024MusicDiscoveries - cool music you discovered in 2024 (not necessarily released this year)

A few months ago I was browsing the interwebs for cat-related media (as one does) and happened upon "Sepia Cat City" by Moon Wiring Club. :blobcatmusic:

It's a beautiful, slightly chaotic, electronic collage and one of my most cherished album finds of the year. :blobcatlove:

It‘s #TuneTuesday and the topic is #2024MusicDiscoveries. Turns out I was way overdue discovering how good Dodheimsgard 🇳🇴 are!

#Dodheimsgard #DHG

#TuneTuesday #2024MusicDiscoveries I discovered *so* many brilliant new-to-me artists this year (mostly thanks to @MFDOOMALLCAPS ), I could make a whole playlist 😅 I'll restrict it to my favourite tracks by the three who made the biggest impression, though.

CHVRCHES & Robert Smith - How Not To Drown
https://song.link/gb/i/1590088300

Chelsea Wolfe - Destruction Makes the World Burn Brighter
https://song.link/gb/i/681692791

Nation of Language - September Again
https://song.link/gb/i/1543252932

#2024MusicDiscoveries is now trending across Mastodon

So #TuneTuesday is themed on #2024MusicDiscoveries this week. Credit to my youngest daughter who's been playing the cd Prelude to Ecstacy on repeat. It turns out the Last Dinner Party is a bit of an obvious choice as they won some BBC new music poll this year, but heck, I just heard this and thought, mm, sounds a bit like Sparks, I like it.

Thanks again Kitty for curating, I've loved discovering new music each Tuesday. Onward and so forth.

I have mentioned #Drahla a lot this year, so no surprise it is my choice for #TuneTuesday and #2024MusicDiscoveries

Have a great time everybody, however and wherever you choose to spend the next few days.

For #TuneTuesday today the theme is #2024MusicDiscoveries. Music I've first discovered this year, but that wasn't necessarily released this year.

I don't want to mention #CharlotteWessels yet again, I'm convinced there was *something* else, right?

Well, turns out I discovered #ZealAndArdor this year!
