Il listone: i migliori album del 2024

Sto scrivendo il post di accompagnamento alla lista dei migliori album del 2024 mentre ormai sono già in viaggio verso il 1971. Ci sono finito per caso nel 1971, poi ho deciso di infilarci tutte le scarpe. Credo che ne avessi bisogno, dopo aver passato dicembre a ripercorrere i sentieri musicali degli undici mesi precedenti. Forse è il bisogno di un tempo dal quale è possibile guardare lontano, chissà. Sto divagando (può un incipit essere una divagazione?). Insomma durante questo benedetto ripassino, accompagnato dall’ascolto di una manciata di cose nuove pescate all’ultimo momento dalle liste altrui, ho capito che avevo ascoltato più dischi degli anni passati e che c’era il serio rischio di allungare troppo il brodo. Dunque ho deciso di tirare una riga e di dare al listone una veste più simile a quella di una classifica editoriale: mi fermo a 50 dischi in sostanza (sono stati 50 nel 2020, ma poi 60 nel 2021 e 53 negli ultimi due anni), che poi è anche il numero che ho scelto da tempo per le liste mai finite su RYM e, in generale, mi pare un numero giusto, una lunghezza umana.

Ma penetriamo nella carne.

Rileggendo il post dell’anno scorso e l’obiettivo che mi ero posto, posso dire che la rimozione del bianco e del maschio in eccesso sta procedendo abbastanza bene – soprattutto quella del maschio devo dire, per il bianco devo impegnarmi di più. Non me lo chiede l’Europa, nel caso aveste qualche dubbio, è che mi va di fare così.

ListenBrainz è diventato sempre di più un compagno di ascolti (è un compagno discreto, non si lamenta del rumore). Anche quest’anno mi ha fornito un riepilogo degli ascolti e un sacco di bellissime statistiche, ma soprattutto mi ha permesso di introdurre una novità. Grazie alla sua classifica dei brani più ascoltati, infatti, ho potuto compilare in modo relativamente semplice una cassettina del 2024, che potete ascoltare qui sotto (qui c’è la scaletta). È la prima volta che c’è una cassettina ad accompagnare la lista; da ora in poi ci sarà sempre (scusate se suona come una minaccia).

https://www.mixcloud.com/caosleo/cassettina-2024/

Dunque il mio 2024 ha avuto più o meno questa colonna sonora, e il suo mondo ha questa faccia:

È stato un anno di sorprese. Sono usciti dischi bellissimi di artisti navigati e amati che sinceramente non mi aspettavo: quelli delle due Kim (Gordon e Deal), ma pure quello di Ty Segall, che ero già pronto a dare per bollito, il senza nome di Jack White e il ritorno dei Jesus Lizard. Poi ci sono le scoperte e gli artisti piombati dal nulla nelle casse del mio stereo: il settetto di Patricia Brennan, Nala Sinephro, MJ Lenderman, i Being Dead, il terzetto composto da Ariel Kalma, Jeremiah Chiu & Marta Sofia Honer, gli Uragano (unico disco italiano presente nel listone), gli Hot Garbage, la chitarra di Ava Mendoza, gli Hizbut Jámm. C’è l’Africa che diventa presenza importante con Bab L’ Bluz e Mdou Moctar. Potrei scriverne per ore, discutere il listone attraversandone i generi, provare a dare un’interpretazione generale, ma credo che sarebbe noioso, oltre che incredibilmente pretenzioso.

Posso invece scegliere dei nomi rappresentativi, questo voglio varlo, evidenziarli a doppia mandata e scommettere su qualcosa da ricordare. Direi Chelsea Wolfe, i Thou e Mdou Moctar. Ce ne sarebbe anche un quarto, il motivo è diverso. È Steve Albini, che ci ha lasciato lo scorso maggio poco dopo aver pubblicato l’ennesimo grande disco degli Shellac. Il listone e la cassettina sono dedicati a lui.

Prima di presentare la lista ci vuole il consueto ringraziamento al fediverso; quest’anno va a @ciccillo, che mi ha consigliato il disco dei Training con Ruth Goller e mi ha spinto a dare una chance al disco di Patricia Brennan, che è addirittura finito nella parte alta del listone.

Alé!

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.

1. RolloTreadway: my favourite soul album of the year ↩︎

9. icastico ↩︎
10. platenworm ↩︎

14. raisedfist ↩︎

17. avi_miller: Her album from 2 years ago (under the alias The Advisory Circle) was a favorite of mine from 2022 and I am really vibing with this new one too. I am also going to link to the review in The Quietus that was the reason I found out that this album had released. thequietus.com/quietus-reviews/cate-brooks-prismatics-review/ ↩︎

32. arratoon ↩︎
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 ↩︎

38. anglemaece ↩︎
39. satsuma: Powerful mix of trip hop and spoken word ↩︎
40. buffyleigh: RIP Françoise. I devoured all 32 of her studio albums this year, making Hardy my 5th most listened-to artist in both albums and minutes. 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/ ↩︎
41. HauntedOwlbear ↩︎
42. erik ↩︎

44. madunclegenghis: Righteous anger, beautiful love songs, just a wonderful album. ↩︎
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 ↩︎

73. platenworm || jomel ↩︎
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 ↩︎
90. MetalheadDana ↩︎
91. communalsauce ↩︎

96. puffer ↩︎
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.] ↩︎
