jeffery berg's top 10 albums of 2024!



Here goes my Top 10 Albums of 2024!





10.


ONLY GOD WAS ABOVE US

Vampire Weekend




Stellar musicianship! Stirring and delightfully volatile. 









9.


PRELUDE TO ECSTASY

The Last Dinner Party





Impressively-mounted (especially for a debut!), operatic, wide-ranging rock record. 






8.


THOUGHTS OF NEVER

LYLO





Smooth, dreamy, Sade-esque tracks from Glasgow-based ambient pop trio.












7.


OPTIMISM

Michael Gray





Legendary producer / DJ crafts a rich, enveloping piano boogie dance album. "Fly Away," a partial cover of Stevie Wonder's "As", soars.  








6. 

IMAGINAL DISK

Magdalena Bay




Big, sweeping, melodic synthpop tunes from the Los Angeles duo.









5.


BRAT

Charli XCX




Clubby, earworm glo-pop ride for an increasingly automated world.








4.


GANGBUSTERS MELODY CLUB

Caravan Palace




Fun, spicy confection from the French electro-swing group.










3.

COWBOY CARTER

Beyoncé





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.


AFFECTION

Bullion




A hooky, sparkly, and disarmingly affecting album. 











1.


NONETHELESS

Pet Shop Boys        




Pet Shop Boys are still going strong with this unclockable set of fresh, wise, melancholic dance-pop disco.
