Here goes my Top 10 Albums of 2024!
10.
Stellar musicianship! Stirring and delightfully volatile.
9.
Impressively-mounted (especially for a debut!), operatic, wide-ranging rock record.
8.
Smooth, dreamy, Sade-esque tracks from Glasgow-based ambient pop trio.
7.
Legendary producer / DJ crafts a rich, enveloping piano boogie dance album. "Fly Away," a partial cover of Stevie Wonder's "As", soars.
6.
Big, sweeping, melodic synthpop tunes from the Los Angeles duo.
5.
Clubby, earworm glo-pop ride for an increasingly automated world.
4.
Fun, spicy confection from the French electro-swing group.
3.
Starts off with a bang with the riveting "American Requiem," then nestles into one of the great Beatles' covers. A diverse, rambling epic, a reclamation of and play with genre.
2.
A hooky, sparkly, and disarmingly affecting album.
1.
Pet Shop Boys are still going strong with this unclockable set of fresh, wise, melancholic dance-pop disco.
