Best new albums from the first half of 2025

Listed below are my favorite albums released during the first half of 2025. Each contains excellent indie/alternative music, but thus far Momma’s release stands out above the others. Arriving during the next quarter is the most anticipated new album (for me) in 2025 – Wolf Alice’s new release: The Clearing. If the first two singles area any indication, it will likely be a challenger for the top spot. Stay tuned. Peace!

1. Welcome to My Blue Sky – Momma

2. Billboard Heart – Deep Sea Diver

3. Salt of the Lee EP – Cliffords

4. As I Watch My Life Online – Late Night Drive Home

5. If You Asked For A Picture – Blondshell

6. Happy To Be Here EP – Dexter & The Moonrocks

7. Planet Popstar EP – Wishy

8. Fall Back EP – Florence Road

25 favorite songs 🎼 released so far in 2025

Listed below are my 25 favorite alternative/indie rock songs released to date in 2025. Ten separate artists are represented on the list with two from Ireland (Cliffords and Florence Road), one from the UK (Wolf Alice), and the rest from the states with such diverse locations as Abilene, Texas (Dexter & the Moonrocks); Carmel, Indiana (Wishy); New York City (Momma, Been Stellar, and Blondshell); El Paso, Texas (Late Night Night Drive Home); and Seattle (Deep Sea Diver).

For the first time in quite awhile, there were no artists from Canada on the list, but there is still half a year to go until the best tracks of the year are announced. The songs listed below are presented in order of preference at the current time. When you get a chance, be sure to check some of them out on Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, YouTube, Pandora, SoundCloud, or wherever you enjoy listening to great music. Peace!
