Here's my favourite music for the year, some of them are only new releases. There's one EP (Extended Play) in the mix as well.
Lucy Dacus has released another outstanding album, and she also joins Julien Baker and Phoebe Bridgers (past faves) to make up Boy Genius. Middle Kids finally released their debut album, and Chvrches and Pinegrove never disappoint with their releases. Enjoy the list in alphabetical order below.

Fave Song: Skylight
One of my favourite bands. So grateful I saw them in Manchester on my European Adventures!
I had a dream Pinegrove were releasing a new album, but dismissed it as Evan was on a hiatus (see link below). A few days later, the album was availible for pre-release! I also love that due to myself and others pre-ordering the album, we got sent the acoustic version later on. Wonderful. That's how you look after fans!
Here's a great article on Pinegrove and my thoughts on the hiatus.
Fave Song: Bloom is the standout, Lucky Strike also great.
BUY the album.
